Title: Update Questions
Post by: bimmerdriver on July 21, 2018, 05:27:37 pm
I am currently running this release:

OPNsense 18.7.r_10-amd64
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p11
OpenSSL 1.0.2o 27 Mar 2018

When I click check for updates, I get this message: This software release has reached its designated end of life. The next major release is: 18.7.r1

Often when I click check for updates, there is a message that the package manager is not running. If I click it again, the message goes away.

Right now, it's saying there are 10 packages. If I upgrade them, it's as if I didn't upgrade. It still gives the message, This software release has reached its designated end of life, the next major release is 18.7.r1.

Is something wrong with my installation? I was previously running the release version. Maybe when I switched to the development version it did not install properly?

The development version is for testing changes. One of the things we test often is upgrades so it's a static built in to loop on upgrades to help test...  Switch back to production and "update" once (not "upgrade").
