          Hello guys,

          Nothing helped. But in the end, I went to Diagnostics-Backup & Restore and at the bottom is Reinstall all packages. Suddenly everything started to work properly.

            @jasongreb Same over here in 4 different installs on different customers plus my homelab, went from pfsense CE to pfsense Plus a few days ago, empty "Avaliable packages" list, tried other options (at least the ones that didn't seem too drastic) but this one is the one that worked. Thanks!

                @jasongreb said in Package List Empty:

                Hey everyone, this was fixed for me by going to System / Update / Update Settings and clicking the Save button without making any changes. Once I did that, the package list came up (I may have forced a refresh too).

                Thanks it worked running pfsense 23.05. I think this should be fixed?

                  It should be fixed in 23.05. If you were running a 23.05 dev/beta/rc snapshot it's possible you got stuck on an older version on pfSense-upgrade that still had this bug.

                      @yaw sounds like a bug to me. I'm seeing the same thing on CE 2.7.0

                          Yup try that. If you're on 2.7.0 also try running: certctl rehash
