What do you see at the command line if you run: pkg -d update ?

Unable to update repository pfSense

Ok, that looks like it needs to pull an updated cert. That should happen whenever the update checks runs but you can also run pfSense-upgrade -c at the CLI.
Do you see available branches in System > Update? Or an error there?

tedquade

@stephenw10 "Do you see available branches in System > Update? Or an error there?"

I am presented with "Latest Stable Version (23.01)" as the only item and no error messages.

I am about to try pfSense-upgrade -c and I'll let you know the result shortly.

Exact same issue for me as well:

If you send me your NDI in chat I can check it.

danejones

I'm having the same issue. Started this morning.

flatsphere

@danejones Same issue here. Started about a week ago. Running 23.01 release. Used to work just fine.

Viper_Rus

I'm having the same issue. Started today

pfSense-upgrade -c
``` solved the problem,
although it starts with an error

Mine similar, but more errors:

G.Hammer

I had the same issue and this corrected it for me.

Deleted as it did not apply to others.

tedquade

@g-hammer That did not resolve the issue for me and instead caused an update to system_patches to present in installed packages. I have reverted your suggested change to /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf.

Ted Quade

G.Hammer

@tedquade I shall remove the suggested fix then.

G.Hammer

If you saw the 'fix' before I deleted it, the stanza deleted is restored at any change to anything in the GUI and/or at reboot.

tedquade

@g-hammer I saw that in other posts on the matter. Thanks for the heads-up though.

Ted Quade

stephenw10

Yes, It looks like there is a problem here. We have replicated it locally and should have a solution shortly.

Steve

stephenw10

Ok: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14137

The issue is that the custom repo data used to upgrade to Plus is not being removed as expected after upgrading.

Simply resaving the update branch to Latest Stable (23.01) in System > Update > Update Settings will allow packages to be seen correctly.

Removing the custom repo data manually will remove the Plus Upgrade message there.

Steve

tedquade

@stephenw10 Thanks for the fix, done.

Where would I do this?

You can run it at the command line via the console or ssh. Or you can run in Diag > Command Prompt in the GUI.

@stephenw10
rm: /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-custom.*: No such file or directory

Already gone.
I do have a package listing and have installed what I wanted.
Thanks for the rapid diagnosis and solution.

flatsphere

@stephenw10 Received this message at Diagnostics/Command Prompt

rm: /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-custom.*: No such file or directory

Still no packages.

G.Hammer

@tedquade Working for you, meaning you have a packages list and can install? Have you rebooted to make certain the fix survives?

No reason to think it doesn't, just checking.

tedquade

@g-hammer Yes, Yes and Yes (I'm a person of few words).

Ted Quade

stephenw10

@flatsphere said in No available packages:

rm: /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-custom.*: No such file or directory
Still no packages.

Did you also resave the update repo settings?

Are you also seeing the 'Bad Request' error from pkg -d update?
There are other reasons you might not see packages. Bug #14137 only applies to recent upgrades from CE.

flatsphere

@stephenw10 said in No available packages:

pkg -d update

Hi Stephen,

Yes, saved but I've no selections in update other than "Latest Stable Version (23.01)" . Saved and rebooted. Also tried "Disable the Dashboard auto-update check", saved and rebooted.
Yes, getting "bad request" from pkg -d update.
I did recently upgrade from latest version of CE.

Cheers!
R

tedquade

@flatsphere

From the Dashboard go to:
System > Update > Update Settings then "Save"

Then Diagnostics > Command Prompt > Execute Shell Command then in Command enter the following:
rm /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-custom.*

Then select Execute.

That is the sequence I followed and it worked for me.

Ted Quade

flatsphere

@tedquade said in No available packages:

rm /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-custom.*

I did that and received the "No such file or directory" message.

Thanks!

Send me your NDI and the output pkg -d update in chat and I'll check it.
