        Make sure to run that command as the "root" user. Also try:

        pkg update -f

            Looks like you had some disk/file corruption if that file is not there?

              Make sure your clock is OK, and also make sure the firewall is not behind a proxy that requires/forces authentication.

                  Routing all works and time is correct as well

                      Are you certain you don't have anything in front of that intercepting SSL? That looks nothing like the certificate subject you should be seeing from the package servers (files00.netgate.com and files01.netgate.com)

                          With no access, this file

                          can't be loaded, so it can't be found.

                          A WAN connection need to exist to update/upgrade.

                          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                          Edit : and where are the logs ??
