Difficulty upgrading from 24.1.10 to 25.1

[lsheaves]

Hi All,

Be nice, newbie here :)

I was able to run the package upgrade, firewall did a reboot, but when it came back up again, I noted that the version hadn't changed.

When I go into System>Firmware>Status:

Code Select Expand

Type opnsense
Version 24.1.10_8
Architecture amd64
Commit 10cb2e320
Mirror https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/24.1
Repositories OPNsense   

If I try and force update by clicking on 'Check for Updates'... I receive an error:

After this I get the following dialog:  "Could not find the repository on the selected mirror"

Interestingly when I browse to https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/24.1/latest/packagesite.pkg I get a 404..  I have also tried changing the mirror to one of the other hosts, getting a 404 irrespective.

Appreciate any help you can provide here... Cheers, Luke

IIUC, 24.1.8_10 should upgrade to 24.7.1, which includes FreeBSD 13->14 upgrade. From there, you can update to 24.7.12, then to 25.1. It appears that you have FreeBSD 14 but still OPNsense 24.1.8_10, which suggests that something went wrong with the upgrade to 24.7.1 (were you watching it on the console?)

I'd probably make a backup of your config (and anything you may have tweaked outside the WebUI), then do a fresh install of 25.1 and import the backup... https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/install.html#opnsense-importer

Maybe there's another way to recover, though....

Looks like the upgrade to 24.7 did not sail through all the way... try again:

# opnsense-update -up -A 24.7

The same could happen to 25.1... something you installed from somewhere else is blocking the final package install.


Cheers,
