      Please let me know where I'm doing wrong in updating pfSense 2.5 to 2.7. Below are the steps I followed. Thank you in advance.

      1.) GUI update was stuck with the message 'Please wait while the update system initializes'. GUI update was done after removing packages and restarting pfsense

      2.) I ran this in the Shell: "pfSense-upgrade -4" and the results are:

      #pfSense-repoc-static: invalid signature
      #failed to read the repo data.
      #failed to update the repository settings!!!
      #failed to update the repository settings!!!

      3.) I ran this in the Shell: "pkg-static update -f" and the results are:

      #Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
      #Fetching meta.conf: 100% 163 B 0.2kB/s 00:01
      #Fetching packagesite.pkg: 100% 2 KiB 1.8kB/s 00:01
      #Processing entries: 100%
      #pfSense-core repository update completed. 7 packages processed.

      #Processing entries: 0%
      #pkg-static: Newer FreeBSD version for package unzoo:

      #- package: 1400085
      #- running kernel: 1202504

      #pkg-static: repository pfSense contains packages for #wrong OS version: FreeBSD:14:amd64
      #Processing entries: 100%
      #Unable to update repository pfSense
      #Error updating repositories!

        @richardsago Read through https://forum.netgate.com/topic/181308/version-2-5-2-upgrade-2-6-0-or-2-7-0/ and see if that helps.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
