      Running a Netgate 5100

      I have read the posts about this issue, and I am having a tough time summarizing in the threads .. what one of the many suggestions is the fix. I have switched to the dev fork and back .. what have others been successful with?

      Ok, this worked:

      This is what NetGate support sent to me about this problem.

      Diagnostics --> Edit File --> and in the "Path to file to be Edited", please enter the following and click "Load":

      /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo.conf

      You can then replace the file with the following contents and hit "Save". This will resolve your issue:

      FreeBSD: { enabled: no }

      pfSense-core: {
      url: "pkg+https://firmware.netgate.com/pkg/pfSense_plus-v22_05_amd64-core",
      mirror_type: "srv",
      signature_type: "fingerprints",
      fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
      enabled: yes
      }

      pfSense: {
      url: "pkg+https://firmware.netgate.com/pkg/pfSense_plus-v22_05_amd64-pfSense_plus_v22_05",
      mirror_type: "srv",
      signature_type: "fingerprints",
      fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
      enabled: yes
      }

      The problem is gone after changing this.

        Directly replacing that file should only be necessary if you're unable to see any repo branch.

        In most cases you should be able to switch to one of the other branches, an updated pfSense-repos pkg will be pulled, which you will see logged, and that would repopulate the files.
