      Hi,

      our lab consists of multiple versions and iterations of pfSense VMs. Lately with the devel-following VMs we could update 2.7-dev snapshots without problem. What did break was the VM that was already on multiple 22.09 snapshots. Checking the current plus-stable 22.05 and the "broken" 22.09 have a newly worded dropdown in the update selection:

      2d59c928-11ad-4db4-991e-15e38117e348-image.png

      But where 2.7 can find and update to newer snapshots without problem, neither 22.05 stable nor the "old" 22.09 devel VM can find or update to any 22.11 snapshots.

      A check on the console shows repositories not found errors all over:

      [22.09-DEVELOPMENT][admin@pfs-plus-devel.lab.test]/root: pkg-static update -f
      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
      pkg-static: https://pkg01-atx.netgate.com/beta/packages/pfSense_master_amd64-core/meta.txz: Not Found

      Unable to update repository pfSense
      Error updating repositories!
      

      So is there currently a way to upgrade to newer snapshots or are 22.11 plus snapshots not really active/built right now? How to force an update for 22.09 boxes to upgrade to 22.11?

      Thanks and Cheers

          There was a brief window where 22.09 could pull a bad repo file and get stuck. You need to set /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-devel.conf to:

          FreeBSD: { enabled: no }
          
          pfSense-core: {
            url: "pkg+https://firmware.netgate.com/beta/packages/pfSense_plus-master_amd64-core",
            mirror_type: "srv",
            signature_type: "fingerprints",
            fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
            enabled: yes
          }
          
          pfSense: {
            url: "pkg+https://firmware.netgate.com/beta/packages/pfSense_plus-master_amd64-pfSense_plus_devel",
            mirror_type: "srv",
            signature_type: "fingerprints",
            fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
            enabled: yes
          }

              @stephenw10 said in unable to update to 22.11 pkg sources?:

              FreeBSD: { enabled: no }

              pfSense-core: {
              url: "pkg+https://firmware.netgate.com/beta/packages/pfSense_plus-master_amd64-core",
              mirror_type: "srv",
              signature_type: "fingerprints",
              fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
              enabled: yes
              }

              pfSense: {
              url: "pkg+https://firmware.netgate.com/beta/packages/pfSense_plus-master_amd64-pfSense_plus_devel",
              mirror_type: "srv",
              signature_type: "fingerprints",
              fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
              enabled: yes
              }

              Yeah our broken instances is missing the "plus" Part in the URI. Will adapt that and check again...

              The snapshots are still tagged 22.09, right? Seeing: 22.09.a.20220728.0600 as the current one?
