Title: [SOLVED] Waiting for another process to update repository OPNsense
Post by: ProximusAl on August 08, 2024, 04:28:34 pm

I’m getting this when trying to update to 24.7.1….even after a full reboot?

Any hints?

Hmmm. After leaving it for a bit, it now says your packages are up to date.

Mirror not synced?

I suspect something DNS related. It just means a "pkg update" call is currently running (or stalling). The way this works is the second call waits for the first to complete. I know because https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/commit/69e28e7a0 ;)

First thing I checked was DNS. Resolves fine via diagnostics and DNS is set under system general.

Tried changing mirror but same. Maybe change mirror, reboot, try again?

I dunno. Never seen this before

You can simply try how long

# pkg update -f

takes. Or if this is reproducible at all on another reboot.
