Title: [SOLVED] Stuck on 26.1.2_5 unable to update to 26.1.5 & fix broken plugins
Post by: hakuna on March 31, 2026, 11:10:58 AM
I see the update page was posted on 24th, it is 31th and I still cannot download with "There are no updates available on the selected mirror."

I have tried changing mirror to one in the US which helped in the past but not this time.

There are 3 plugins in conflict including os-isc-dhcp (missing) and they require 25.1.5 but I cannot install this update.

Thank you

Check your repository configuration, if you added more than the standard OPNsense repository that might be your issue.

If you added more repos (which always is a manual shell operation) you should know where to look in the filesystem.

Thank you for the reply but that is the problem, I have made no changes at all.

Out of the blue, I have the plugins:

* os-apcupsd (missing)
* os-isc-dhcp (missing)
* os-nut (missing)

They are red in colour and have an "+" instead of the delete icon, but they are installed.

I swear, I have made no changes so idk what to do or change to fix this.
I tried changing the repo location via the GUI last night as my last hope but that didn't work.

The only major change was to install 26.1.5_2 update.
I checked for update, read the release note, and applied, I do not touch repo config.

I checked the repo config which I never ever touch, and it looks correct to me.
Via GUI is set as default/default/Community since always.

root@firewall01:~ # cat /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf

I tried changing the repo location via GUI again and this is what I get but OPNSense seems unable to download it.

SOLVED.

There are quite a lot of posts with folks having similar problem when trying to update from X to Y
Somebody had the same problem as me going from 25.7.11_9 to 26.1.1 posted 2 months ago on Reddit.
The solution was:

1. SSH into OPNSense
2. 8) Shell
3. Run: opnsense-bootstrap
4. Enter and agree with the warning

I finally got 26.1.5 update installed.
Plugins were removed like the UPnP, other set as missing and I had to reinstall them like ISC DHCP which is running.

I have no idea what happened when 26.1.2_5 was installed but this seems to be a normal thing here and there.
