It looks like there were some backend issues earlier but they should be resolved now.

Try refereshing the packaage/update list or running at the CLI: pfSense-repoc -N

cefinformatique

I confirm that the issue is resolved.

I have the exact same problem, but it still does not work :(

Even working through the update troubleshoot page, does not fix the issue.

The so called "Force pkg Metadata Update" or "Rewrite Repository Information" do not help either :/

Is a full reinstall really the last resort here?

Any help is much appreciated.

Try running pkg -d update and see what additional debug info you get.

@stephenw10 thanks for your fast response!

i do get nearly the same like messages like the initial op

switching to 24.11 results in the same, but other package path...

Error updating repositories!

HansWerner3dit

@stephenw10 do you have any further recommendation / ideas to try out?

else I will go the route of reinstalling the operation system...

stephenw10

Ah, sorry, got distracted by...numerous other things! Let me see here....

What repo branches do you see available? If you set it back to 24.03 and re-run pkg -d update do you see the same error?

HansWerner3dit

@stephenw10 no worries ;)

regarding the pkg -d update: it is exactly the same error for both branches.

see the diff for both commands on different branches

Actually, everything look fine, except for the last 4,5 lines.

DBG(1)[95168]> PkgRepo: extracting signature of repo in a sandbox
pkg: No trusted public keys found
Unable to update repository pfSense

signatures are extract to a temporary location (before used).
What if this temporary location (aka sandbox) couldn't be created because of file system errors ?

Free disk space ok ?
File system ok ? See Netgate Youtube channel, there is a video that shopws you how to test the file system.

stephenw10

Check: /usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg/trusted/
Do you see keys present?

Check: /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos
Do you see entries for the available branches?
