Please wait while the update system initializes

Re: Please wait while the update system initializes

Trying to upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0 or 2.7.0, both show as available in System Update, however the process hangs at "Please wait while the update system initializes."

There is no log at /conf/upgrade_log.latest.txt and I have run: pkg-static info -x pfSense-upgrade which recommended (and I ran): pkg-static bootstrap -f

Still hangs at "Please wait while the update system initializes."

Any ideas?

I would go via 2.6 to be sure. So set the update branch to that then run pfSense-upgrade -d and command line and see what errors it throws (if it does).

Hmm, are you still on 2.5.2 trying to reach 2.7?

What does pkg-static info -x pfsense show?

@unsichtbarre said in Please wait while the update system initializes:

pfSense-repoc-static: invalid signature

This was the solution:

pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

pkg-static bootstrap -f

pfSense-upgrade -d -c
