Title: Updating over 5G / LTE fails
Post by: Matthew_Kent on July 23, 2026, 12:16:03 PM
Hi all,

I have problems with updating as my connection is over a home 5G connection, and (lib)fetch doesn't seem to like this (see thread here: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=49979.msg253997#msg253997 (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=49979.msg253997#msg253997) )

I can manually download and update using curl and opnsense-update, which has worked well in the past, however after updating 26.1 to 26.7 I then get version / package errors, specifically I believe its looking for the repos under FreeBSD:14.  I have since reverted back to 26.1.

Is there a way to manually update via the shell using curl?

Thanks,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,

Some pointers in this thread, but it would be help to start with the update log and health audit in particular in order to start from the right place for your problem.


Cheers,

And as soon as I post, it updates fine using "opnsense-update -upr 26.7 -a FreeBSD:15:amd64/26.7" from the shell.

As I said... keep in mind this tries to upgrades packages after kernel and base were already installed. If base/kernel are not properly installed this ultimately fails.
