        try this command

        pkg-static upgrade -f pfSense-repoc
        

        Maybe your repo got mixed up with a new boot environment...

                You'll find the often overlooked

                a5497ffd-0917-418f-9b6a-5fb2e2bcc6a8-image.png

                which means : if you do not use the latest pfSense version, just don't visit the packages manager anymore - don't upgrade packages neither. Consider your system as 'frozen in time'.

                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    @wija86 i did not find any soulsion on it so i did reinstall my PFsense and now its working.
                    I was stuck between 2.7.0 and 2.7.2 it did say i had the newest update but my GUI did say 2.7.0
                    now after the reinstall my Gui says 2.7.2 and my packages are working again.
