      I switched the System / Update / System Update from 2.3.5 (Latest Stable (version 2.3.x) to Latest Stable (version 2.4.x).

      Now I can't go back to 2.3.x ... only 2.4 are showed.

      In Diagnostics / Backup & Restore / Config History is see that change.

      -		<pkg_repo_conf_path>/usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-legacy-23.conf</pkg_repo_conf_path>
      +		<pkg_repo_conf_path>/usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo.conf</pkg_repo_conf_path>
      

      I tried to revert the config, reboot, but it still doesn't offer 2.3.x. This is because the pfSense-repo-legacy-23.conf is no longer present on the system.

      I disable the Disable the automatic dashboard auto-update check for now, but the Package Manager is unusable as it now offer 2.4.4 packages that might create problems on 2.3.5.

      2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
      Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz 8GB
      Backup 0.5_5, Bandwidthd 0.7.4_4, Cron 0.3.7_5, pfBlockerNG-devel 3.0.0_16, Status_Traffic_Totals 2.3.1_1, System_Patches 1.2_5

        2.3.5 is EOL very soon: https://www.netgate.com/blog/pfsense-release-2-3-x-eol-reminder.html

        So update to 2.4.4.

          I know that. I will probably update to 2.4.4 in the near future.

          But the pfSense-repo-legacy-23.conf should remain available and present on the system to prevent system problems if an unaware user update a package from the wrong base.

            If you did try to install a package it should fail before actually installing anything as they all have php7 as a dependency which won't be met.

            >>> Setting vital flag on lang/php56... done.
            WARNING: Current pkg repository has a new PHP major
                     version. pfSense should be upgraded before
                     installing any new package.
            Failed

              @stephenw10 I didn't try but it's good to know it would not break anything.
