Title: 26.7 firmware update loop
Post by: monkfish on July 11, 2026, 01:11:43 AM

Hello,

Wanted to report a firmware update loop on my dev lab 26.7rc machines.
It appears to have installed 26.7r2 correctly but subsequent firmware checks seem to want to "downgrade" to 26.7.r1.
If I do happen to select it, its installing "something" but resulting in 26.7r2 again after reboot.
Happens regardless of which development repo I select in the firwmare settings.

100% no problem in this lab, I just wanted to flag it as its curious behaviour.

Thank you for OPNsense!

A healthcheck wouldn't hurt.

Are you sure it is not a mirror issue? I don't see any logical path for a downgrade.

Also, 26.7.r2_3 is where you want to be now.

You're missing step 4. and 5. from https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=52330.0

The development version loops through the updates on purpose...

Cheers,
