Simple question which step am I missing here?

You have a filesystem problem which needs addressed. Failing to update is a symptom of some other problem you have, it's most likely not a problem with your updates.

Reboot into single user mode (option 2 at the boot menu IIRC) and then run "fsck -y /" repeatedly until it does not find any problems. Don't stop when it says the filesystem is clean, keep going until it finds no problems/makes no corrections. If that doesn't help, you might have a disk issue, or may need to reinstall. Start a new thread if you need more help with that since it isn't directly related to this thread.

Using admin username which isn't built-in admin behaves differently on pfsense.

Once I re-enabled "admin" account and logged to firewall via SSH console, I was able to complete update.

2 firewalls fixed with these steps so far.

File system was fine.

When you used a non-root/admin account, did you run the update via sudo?

I would expect it to fail without sudo from an unprivileged user. That also explains the errors.

please check your pfsense date and time .
