Error after package update

@JHplusUser said in Error after package update:

I was able to locate the file config.lib.inc and it seems the function config_read_file is indeed missing somehow?\

@marcosm said in Error after package update:

The function config_read_file() was introduced in 24.11. If pfSense actually reports version 24.11, then it's best re-install, install the System Patches package to apply the recommended patches, then restore.

The most recent /etc/inc/config.lib.inc isn't there, it's still the 24.03 version.
Consider the system as 'partially' upgraded == not good at all.

No option anymore, you have to re install clean.

@Gertjan i re-installed pfsense, directly used the old config -> was up and running again in 20 min

after that I could install pfblockerng without a problem.

Thanks for your help (and of others)

noticed two things:

indeed the update to 24.11 was not complete -> on the dashboard it still mentioned the older version.
now i remain having the same fault as i started off with at the beginning, before updating my pfsense incl packagers.

"An error occurred while uploading the encrypted Netgate pfSense Plus configuration to https://acb.netgate.com/save (Empty reply from server) @ 2025-01-25 17:00:01
An error occurred while uploading the encrypted Netgate pfSense Plus configuration to https://acb.netgate.com/save (OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to acb.netgate.com:443 ) @ 2025-01-25 17:00:02"

It was this error that made me updating my pfsense as well as all packages leading up to the problems with pfblocker ng.

Any idea how to solve this?

@JHplusUser Does it still let you rerun the upgrade? I believe it’s possible to do so via command line but an actual reinstall is arguably cleaner.
