      Hi,
      After upgrading to 23.05.1 via the web interface I do not have an available branch upgrade option to current. This is on a pfSense Plus AWS instance.
      Within the UI System Update shows a current base system of 23.05.1, the same version shows as Latest Base System and status shows up to date. There is no branch offered for "Latest stable version". The branch it sits on by default is labeled "Previous Stable Version (23.09". Other branch options available from drop-down are "Depreciated Version (23.01" & "Depreciated Version (23.05.1"
      I believe the relevant issue can be documented with the below cli information.
      Any suggestions on fixing this issue? Please let me know if any other information might be useful.

        @logboyd try changing to 23.05.1 and back again per
        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#upgrade-not-offered-library-errors

        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.

          @SteveITS Thanks for the response! I should have mentioned I did try that per the documentation but with no change in what is offered. I have just made that same attempt attempting each of the three branches showing as available. There is no upgrade offered on any of the three available settings through multiple switches of the branch. Also, in case it was not clear, there is no branch offered labeled Latest Stable Version. The three offerings are a Previous Stable Version and then two Depreciated Versions.

          Thanks for any assistance,

            Run pfSense-repoc -D and note the Model value. Don't post that output here as it contains private data.

            That should be shown as 'Amazon Web Services'. If it shows 'Unknown' open a ticket with us:
