Cannot update through package or get upgrade

[Sadsa]

Not specifically related to upgrading, but wasn't sure where to put this.

So whenever I try to run

pkg update -d

It repeats like this for most of the repositories (These are the last few lines)

* Hostname pkg00-atx.netgate.com was found in DNS cache
*   Trying 208.123.73.207:443...
* Connected to pkg00-atx.netgate.com (208.123.73.207) port 443 (#11)
* ALPN: offers http/1.1
*  CAfile: none
*  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs/
* SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain
* Closing connection 11
pkg: An error occured while fetching package
Unable to update repository pfSense
Error updating repositories!

I also cant update pfsense, as it says unable to check for updates. The error happened when i tried to add in the regular freeBSD repositories, but still happenes after i disabled it.

@Sadsa
Read the other thread (half inch away) : Unable to check for updates from dashboard and consider doing what is suggested over there.

edit :

The error happened when i tried to add in the regular freeBSD repositories, but still happenes after i disabled it.

pfSense looks like FreeBSD, pfSense smells like FreeBSD.
But as said (warned), there where you found how to 'use the FreeBSD official repositories' ; here, don't. Or use a VM. Or a space device.
It's can be fun if you have a lot of spare time, really want to mess up, or if you want to find a good reason to reinstall.
The beauty is : it is possible to install packages from official repository. As long as it doesn't pull in dependencies that wipe current pfSense versions, thus nuking the system.

No more suggestions from me : save your config. Re install.

@Gertjan Thanks, I looked for a thread but couldnt find one. I think the pkg bootstrap -f has fixed it :), sorry for posting so quick, should have checked more thoroughly

Edit:
So if i try to add the freeBSD repositories then it tries to update pkg, which then breaks it until i run pkg bootstrap -f again.

I just needed to run a python program, but that needed a library i had to compile, which meant i had to install gcc, which is what im trying to do now.

@Sadsa said in Cannot update through package or get upgrade:

gcc is part of a rather big build tools chain.
It's probably easier to install a FreeBSD 'as close as possible' to the pfSense FreeBSD kernel, and then add the build tools and stuf you need, compile, link (static link, I guess, as it will make a mostly independent program/library) and copy the result over to your pfSense.
pfSense is not a development device, it's a firewall ;)
