    Hi pfSense Experts!

    I get a blank "Firmware Branch" field in System/Update/Update Settings after a fresh install v2.7.2.

    I see error messages from pfSense-repoc in System/Update/System Update:

    Messages
    pfSense-repoc: si_get_packages: failed to run the pkg info command: /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static info -R --raw-format json-compact pfSense-pkg-* 2>&1 pfSense-repoc: no pfSense packages installed pfSense-repoc: failed to fetch the repo data

    Current Base System 2.7.2
    Latest Base System 2.7.2
    StatusUp to date.

    Untitled1.png

    Available Packages do not show any packages as a result.
    Untitled2.png

    My previous config v2.6.0 has restored very well, exept for apcups, radius, suricata, vnstat.

    Help solve this problem please, I'm stuck in frustration and many hours trying to find solution.

    The following are the output messages of some commands:

      If you see that go to Sys > Update > Update Settings and resave the 2.7.2 branch. Then retest.

        Thank you for your response!

        In the System/Update/Update Settings, I see an empty "Branch" field and cannot select anything.
        It has nothing:

          Sorry for my English.
          2.5.2 was the last version with normal upgrade.

          I am using pfSense for my family network, many thanks to all the pfSense developers.
          For about 7-8 years I've been adding, changing hardware, and tweaking the config.

          Right now I have multiple static ip addresses, several vlans, vpn and ipsec tunnels, smart UPS, wifi controller on Linux.
          Now I have electrical problems very often, so communicating UPS with pfSense is just a vital necessity.
          Rebuilding a config from scratch is a huge problem right now for me.
          That's why I'm periodically trying and trying to upgrade.

          But..
          Upgrading from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0 has successfully failed from cli and from web.
          Upgrading from 2.5.2 to 2.7.0 has successfully failed from cli and from web.

          Freshly installed 2.7.0 failed to restore the 2.5.2 config.

          I then did a fresh install of 2.6.0 and successfully restored the 2.5.2 config.

          Then the upgrade from 2.6.0 to 2.7.0 has successfully failed from cli and from web.

          All this time I have been trying to restore the full config with RRD and extra data included.
          All this time I've been having some kind of problem with the pfSense repo.

          I was thinking maybe it's a problem with some packages?

          I installed a fresh version 2.6.0, successfully restored the config, removed all packages, made the config backup with RRD and extra data included.
          Freshly installed 2.7.2 failed to restore the config with removed packages:

          2.7.2_conf_restore_failed.jpg

          I'm now on fresh 2.7.2 with a partially restored 2.6.0 config and a pfSense-repo issue.

            I did:

              Now Available Packages is shows all packages:

              pic04_Available_Packages_OK.png

              But I can't install anything.

              I got errors:
              pfSense-pkg-apcupsd installation failed!
              Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running. Try again later

              pic05_apcupsd_install_failed.png

              System/Update/System Update is still showing an empty "Branch" field, with error message:

              pfSense-repoc: si_get_packages: failed to run the pkg info command: /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static info -R --raw-format json-compact pfSense-pkg-* 2>&1 pfSense-repoc: no pfSense packages installed pfSense-repoc: failed to fetch the repo data

              Any advice would be very helpful!

              Merry Christmas to all the pfSense guys and their families!

                @pfthbst said in Empty field "Firmware Branch" in <System/Update/Update Settings> after a fresh install v2.7.2:

                I installed a fresh version 2.6.0, successfully restored the config, removed all packages, made the config backup with RRD and extra data included.
                Freshly installed 2.7.2 failed to restore the config with removed packages:

                That looks like this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13132
                That should be fixed but it's possible you found some variant on that. However you should be able to manually remove the rogue sshdata section from the config and then import that to 2.7.2.

                  Thanks for the advice!

                  I removed redundant <sshdata> section from 2.6.0 no-packages config.

                  The fresh 2.7.2 successfully restored this config, but <System/Update/System Update> still has an empty "Branch" field.
                  With a new error message:
                  pfSense-repoc: failed to fetch the repo data

                  pic06_System_Update_Setting_Branch_empty.png

                  Available Packages still shows no packages available.
                  pic08_Available_Packages_empty.png

                  Now pfSense-repoc does not display messages:

                  pfSense-repoc: no pfSense packages installed

                  But it's still showing errors:

                    I have a noname box with an Intel CPU.
                    I've noticed a couple things in the system.log

                    1. Dec 26 09:32:54 pfSense kernel: netgate0: <unknown hardware>

                    2. Strange things are happening with timestamps in the system.log. The Boot sequence starts with my actual UTC/GMT +2 timestamp, then the UTC/GMT timestamp appears:

                    Dec 26 09:32:54 pfSense syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
                    Dec 26 09:32:54 pfSense kernel: ---<<BOOT>>---
                    ..
                    Dec 26 07:38:53 pfSense php-fpm[48596]: /pkg_mgr.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/pfSense-repo-setup' returned exit code '1', the output was 'pfSense-repoc-static: failed to fetch the repo data failed to read the repo data. failed to update the repository settings!!!'
                    

                    Could this have any effect on the pfSense repo problems?

                      Then I rebooted.

                      Now I see a full list of Available Packages, but can install nothing.
                      I see error:

                      System/Update/System Update "Branch" field still remains empty.

                      The timestamps were weird before rebooting:

                      pkg-static has an actual UTC/GMT+2 timestamp
                      /diag_reboot.php has a UTC/GMT timestamp

                        I've added localhost to the NTP Server Configuration->Interface
                        Now all booting logs have one actual timestamp.

                        I did again:
                        pkg-static bootstrap -f
                        pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

                        Rebooted, and nothing changed.

                        /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-repo-setup
                        pfSense-repoc-static: failed to fetch the repo data
                        failed to read the repo data.
                        failed to update the repository settings!!!

                        System/Update/System Update "Branch" field remains empty.
                        I see a full list of Available Packages, but can install nothing.

                          Hmm, I assume it was showing the branches in a clean install of 2.7.2 though?

                          Does the config file contain a branch setting? That shoudn't actually matter though.

                            Thanks for the reply.

                            After numerous experiments, I found the cause of my repo problem.

                            A few years ago, I saw a solution for the annoying bug - https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8987
                            Under dns host override I redirected dns calls to ews.netgate.com to localhost.
                            That was the cause of my repo issues.

                            Prior to version 2.6.0 this didn't cause any problem.

                              I still see a few minor issues.

                              1. The tcpdump output have GMP timestamp, while Timezone seting is "Etc/GMT-2 (2 hours AHEAD of GMT)
                                All logs have the correct local timestamp, but not the tcpdump output.

                              2. 2.7.2 can't restore rrddata from 2.6.0 config at all.

                              3. If I try to backup current 2.7.2 config with "Backup extra data" ticked, the config.xml is zero lenth.

                              Should I create a new topic, or can I continue here?

                                @pfthbst said in Empty field "Firmware Branch" in <System/Update/Update Settings> after a fresh install v2.7.2:

                                Under dns host override I redirected dns calls to ews.netgate.com to localhost.

                                Ah, yes that would do it! Access to that is required to pull the dynamic repo data in 2.7.

                                Timestamps in tcpdump are actually in epoch time but by default it displays that as UTC. I don't think tcpdump itself can use a local timezone, I could be wrong. If so though that would require some recoding to make the page show it as such. It's not a bug but could be a missing feature.

                                Yes, it should be a new topic to discuss further.
