22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Does not seem to Proceed to install 22.7
« on: July 30, 2022, 08:41:50 pm »
I have another system that refuses to upgrade to 22.7, as per @Franco request I am ELI5 (hopefully) solution :
Currently running 22.1.x with FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE, as per previous instructions by @Franco to allow 13.1-RELEASE over 22.1.x installs as per https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=28505.0 and locked base and kernel packages in System:Firmware:Packages and clicked the little unlocked icon (to lock) at the end of base and kernel package lines (on the righthand side), as such preventing downgrades to 13.0-release while still allowing to upgrade 22.1.x all the way t 22.1.10_4 without overwriting 13.1-RELEASE.
Once at 22.1.10_4 and 13.1-RELEASE (locked), there is no way to upgrade to 22.7, as system insist that is up to date, except for usual base and kernel 13.0-RELEASE package downgrade availability (which of course are locked, therefore won't downgrade regardless).
The only way for system to detect 22.7 availability is to unlock base and kernel packages in Sytem:Firmware:Packages and hit the lock icon (to unlock) at the end of base and kernel package lines (on the righthand side) and downgrade to 13.0-RELEASE.
Once base and kernel are unlocked and downgraded to 13.0-RELEASE, the system proceeds to detect 22.7 upgrade and allows to proceed to 22.7.
Hope this helps.
