      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.

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