      After I killed a PFSense by using GUI to upgrade months ago, I only use the console for it.

      I have never seen any other LINUX/UNIX/FreeBSD that makes this often problems on updates ....
      Normaly I always try to be up to date on security relevant systems, but with PFSense I am always scared to install an Upgrade, as the failure rate is such high on upgrades.

      This time I tried the update, an ran into the Pkg.pfsense.org appears to be dead issue. So I added this Server to my DNS. What is the problem to just add an a Record?!?
      Then first all looked fine, I saw no error messages, system rebooted. I logged in GUI and it tells me there's an Update avaiable ?!?
      OK .... let's try again
      Chose 13 again to give it a second try ....... "Theres already an update running"?!? What the heck? I have let the system allone then for several hours. Logged into GUI .... still old version.

      Third try failed now with error messages:

      Is netgate trying to make money by users sending broken boxes back to them for resetting or why upgrade is such hard on this system? It is such a great system ..... except from upgrading.
      I hardly recommend to have a spare firewall next to the productive one for upgrade issues.

      Is there any other option now as throwing this box out of the window? I don't want to try another time ... at the moment the box ist at least working.

        If I was hitting that I would install 2.3.5 onto a new CF card and then restore the config from the old install.

        That is by far the safest thing to do there. You will still have the old card to boot into if required.

        When the update system reports Theres already an update running it means there's a pkg update running not an upgrade necessarily. So you probably had the dashboard open for example.

        You should consider swapping out th ALIX (I'm guessing) for something newer though. End of all support for that is coming soon.
