*Unable to retrieve package information.

I'm currently running v2.7.2 and I wanted to install pfBlockgerNG and got the following error message:
Unable to retrieve package information.

Googling around made serveral suggestions my last lead that I tried was to downgrading to 2.7.1 and then run in the shell:

pkg-static -d update

And I get the follwing output:

* Couldn't find host pkg00-atx.netgate.com in the .netrc file; using defaults
* Hostname pkg00-atx.netgate.com was found in DNS cache
*   Trying 208.123.73.207:443...

Now, I could get it out of the rack and reinstall pfsense from scratch. But would be a bit of trouble.
Can someone point to the right directions in order to fix this issue.

Try running: pfSense-repoc first.

If that doesn't work try resaving the update branch in System > Update Settings.
