Package Management broken?

tekoholic

Ouch… OK, based upon the info in this thread (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,13771.0.html), I might guess that this is somewhat intentional (taking the Package Management offline, for repair / tuning).

Anyhow, I ran an upgrade, just moments ago, and upon attempt to reinstall all packages (the only one still installed being FreeSWITCH), it failed.

I attempted to use the package manager, to reinstall package manually, and it tells me: "Unable to communicate to http://www.pfsense.org/?gui20alpha. Please check DNS, default gateway, etc."

Of course, I'm posting this from within the network which pfSense ;D guards, and although that isn't necessarily indicative of complete network health, have not seen any other signs of trouble...

update - Further troubleshooting as follows:

I've now gone thru my network, and determined all to be in good shape. Gone, via web-browser, to url: http://www.pfsense.org/?gui20alpha, and found it to link-back to the main pfsense.org front page. Wondering, now, if maybe the package directory on server has been corrupted or deleted?

it is still the same.
Unable to communicate to http://www.pfsense.org/?gui20alpha. Please check DNS, default gateway, etc.

also, can't see anything in auto updater even though I select 2.0 in updater settings.

You should try another snapshot i do not think that a upgrade has the fix in such a short time.

thanks, I can see packages now. I was hoping to see Freenas package. I read somewhere it would be available in 2.0

Been there, posted that (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,13771.0.html), and a temporary solution was given: in the url in browser, change "xmlid=" to "xml&id="

It used to be in the branch that was going to be 2.0, but that was years ago, it's been abandoned. It won't be available in the foreseeable future.
