      Whilst making a number of rule changes, it came to mind that I hadn't updated packages for a while, so thought I'd do it whilst logged in, but all packages are showing as up to date, which I considered strange.

      For example, I have pfBlockerNG-devel 3.2.0_20 but it seems 3.2.1_21 is the latest version.

      pkg-static update -f shows:

      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...

      Processing entries: 100%
      pfSense-core repository update completed. 4 packages processed.

      Processing entries: 100%
      pfSense repository update completed. 550 packages processed.
      All repositories are up to date.
      

      Also tried

      pkg-static clean -ay ; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

      Really don't know the last time I did an update, so can't say when this started happening. Device seems to be functioning fine otherwise.

      Any pointers, please?

        I don't have a CE where I can look but are you sure that's released on 2.7.2 and not just Plus? The packages are tied to a pfSense version.

        Where are you seeing that 3.2.0_21 is out? Not finding a reference...

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @SteveITS Interesting. Perhaps then this is a non-issue.

          I clicked not the 3.2.0_20 version link which took me to:

          here

          PORTNAME=	pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel
          PORTVERSION=	3.2.1
          PORTREVISION=	21
          CATEGORIES=	net
          MASTER_SITES=	# empty
          DISTFILES=	# empty

            @iStuart It may not be released yet even if that shows in github.

              @SteveITS Fair enough, I'm obviously finding an issue where the isn't one.

              Is there a link that states what the latest version is?

                I don't think so. Usually it's discussed in the forum category here. There is https://www.patreon.com/pfBlockerNG but it isn't always posted there I think. Also https://www.reddit.com/r/pfBlockerNG/.
