I just deployed a couple of OPNsense 19.1.4 routers. They're the i386 image, that's why it's an older firmware, I believe it's just about the cutoff line where it became 64-bit exclusively. Anyway, I need them only for DHCP/DHCP6 and maybe route a couple of IPv6 networks. They're perfect for the job.
I need FRR though which requires checking for updates first but it won't update. I get:

There something about a database that sounds like a local issue, but a little latter something about repo meta, which sounds the opposite. So I just came for help before I start tinkering with it.
Are the repos still live?
Also...since I'm here already :) it's been a while since I last used this version, and I can't seem to make static addressing regardless work.
The firewall/natting is off completely off but addresses don't seem to be configured at all (I ran nmap scans from other systems) unless gotten from DHCP. Even after rebooting. Was there an extra step with this firmware?? :O
In Settings→Interfaces, all the offloads were already disabled (all boxes are checked) out of the box and VLAN Hardware Filtering is set to Leave default. Gateway switching is enabled, but made no difference disabled, if I remember correctly— I might need to double check that.
Thanks!

I installed a 19.1.4 i386 using the ISO image. After installation I get offered the update to 19.1.10_1 right away. What firmware mirror do you have set in System: Firmware > Settings?
Hopefully you don't have these routers connected to the world since they are just out of date, by about 6 years ;)

You'll find FreeBSD 13+ packages on that server (supported releases), 11 not anymore.
