No package can be installed
-
I use pfSense 2.7.0 and when I want to search for a package through the package manager, it doesn't find anything. I can't install any packages. I was looking for information on how to fix it and found this guide.
- First navigate to Diagnostics >> Command Prompt and run all three commands together to save time:*
certctl rehash && pkg-static update -f && pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade
Has anyone had a similar problem and did this guide help?

Running all that together as one command is unhelpful in my opinion. If one part fails you won't know which.
There is a known issue with 2.7.0 that requires running:
certctl rehash
So run just that then try to update again.See: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#troubleshooting

I have already run all 3 commands. I updated from 2.7.0 to 2.7.2. It seems that everything is fine.
Of course, I made a full VM backup before that. -
Ah, sorry I missed that was 3 days ago! Well glad it worked for you.

I am grateful for every answer. My pfSense runs in KVM, so backup and restore are very fast.
