The packages shown using a colour yellow :
means there are updates available.
Click on the turning arrows in front of the package name :
-
@gertjan But this is the problem, it does not update.
Nothing happens after this. The page stays like that forever and no update.
-
The "unable to check for updates", see Troubleshooting Upgrades
The pfBlockerNG-devel package re install :
Well, it downloaded, and is started the upgrade = remove + install again.
Why the "Removing" stops, I can't tell (from) here.Nothing was mentioned in the logs ?
-
@gertjan I have checked system.log but it looks normal.

@alanesi
Here are some more logs :
/cf/conf/pkg_log_pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel.txt
which is basically what you saw on the screen.
Just a wild guess : you you use a RAM disk ?

This post is deleted! -
@gertjan I really appreciate your help.
Yes, pkg_log_pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel.txt is exactly what's on the screen:
And this what I have this path /var/unbound
About RAM disk, no I'm using regular ones. I'll see if a reboot may solve the issue.
-
@alanesi I have the same files in /var/unbound
-
@gertjan Yep restarts solved the issue.
