        Since both are essentially the same right now, it should be safe to set your update branch to Next stable version and then force a reinstall of any items that are labeled 2.6.0 via pkg at the CLI.

        That can be a bit tricky to do, though. Might be better to install fresh and ensure it's set properly first.

            switched the branches and did

            $ pkg install -f pfSense pfSense-base pfSense-default-config pfSense-kernel-pfSense pfSense-rc
            

            seems to have worked. not sure if i missed any other packages, but seems ok. slightly easier than reinstall / restore at this point.
