OPNsense Community 22.7 to Business 22.4 downgrade

[onlime]

I am trying to downgrade two OPNsense appliances (DEC4630 / OPNsense Quad Core Gen4) from 22.7.2 / 22.7.4 (Community) to 22.4.x Business. We have received two license keys from https://shop.opnsense.com/ and I tried with the following settings:

• Mirror: Deciso (HTTPS, NL, Commercial)
• Flavour: OpenSSL
• Type: Business

Tried over web interface, over console option 12) Update from console or over pkg update, always gettings this:

Error updating repositories!


How come OPNsense tries to retrieve the package list from the yet unreleased 22.10 (Business) URLs? How can I force it to use 22.4 instead?

I believe the license keys are correct, but I don't know where this 22.10 comes from and how I can override it.

I have also tried this:

Code Select Expand


$ sed -I '.bkup' 's/22.10/22.4/' /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/OPNsense.conf

$ cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/OPNsense.conf
OPNsense: {
  fingerprints: "/usr/local/etc/pkg/fingerprints/OPNsense",
  url: "pkg+https://opnsense-update.deciso.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/${ABI}/22.4/latest",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  priority: 11,
  enabled: yes
}


but it failed as well:

Downgrades are not possible. 22.7 belongs to 22.10 which is not yet available, not 22.4 which belongs to 22.1.

Reinstall from 22.10 business image with config import option... https://opnsense-update.deciso.com/
