Upgrade stuck at reinstalling packages

I upgrade to the latest version of PFsense and the upgrade went well until it got the the reinstalling packages part. It's been 12 hours and it is stuck there. My system logs have the following:

How can I "un-stuck" the packages installation?
Diagnostics - Backup/Restore - Clear package lock (or something like that).
