[slkamath]

Hi,

Today I installed pfSense 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1(amd64) (after installation it asked me to update).

If I see the Package Manager - Available Package is Unavailable (pfSense 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1(amd64) Package Manager available package is unavailable)

Please find the attachment for your reference.

So please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

You have this one :

2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
built on Tue Dec 12 13:45:26 CST 2017
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6

The system is on the latest version.
Version information updated at Wed Feb 14 16:04:16 CET 2018  

and it proposes an upgrade ?
Upgrade to what ? a dev version ?

2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) is the latest stable version.

When you installed pfSense, did you change anything related to DNS ?
Also : access the console and type

host google.com

did it resolve ?

Btw : no, the update servers are not down. I can sync with them just fine.

Hi

Thanks for replying.

Upgraded to 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1(amd64).

I tried running the below command, after that package manager is not showing.

echo 'dnsthingy:{url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.dnsthingy.com/pfsense/pkg/'uname -m'",enabled: yes}' > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/dnsthingy.conf

I tried this before upgrade and tried after upgrade to 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1. No luck. SO i think problem with the command.

Once again thanks for replying.

You are poking files into /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos …
Something coming from "googleapis.com" ....
"dnsthingy"  :o
At least I'm sure now something isn't working well.
