      @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.

          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.

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

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

                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.

                    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.

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

                              @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.

                                  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.

                                    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

                                      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.

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