New install with restored config - won't update from 24.1 to 24.1.7

[DavidRa]

This one has me a little confused. I have the VM configured to use the default pkg mirror, type Community:

Code Select Expand

Type opnsense
Version 24.1
Architecture amd64
Commit 2a5b9278e
Mirror https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/24.1
Repositories OPNsense
Updated on Fri Jan 26 21:50:57 AEDT 2024
Checked on Fri May 17 14:38:02 AEST 2024

When I run a check for updates, it appears successful:

Code Select Expand

And I get the green popup telling me there are no updates available on the selected mirror. However, if I attempt to install a plugin, I'm informed that I need to update first:

Installation out of date. The update to opnsense-24.1.7 is required.
***DONE***

The System > Firmware > Changelog quite reasonably shows me that I'm behind:

Version   Date   
24.1.7   2024-05-16   
24.1.6   2024-04-18   
24.1.5   2024-04-04   
24.1.4   2024-03-20   
24.1.3   2024-03-06   
24.1.2   2024-02-20   
24.1.1   2024-02-06   
24.1 (installed)   2024-01-30

The restored config is from a host with 24.1.6 installed, in case that matters. I'm guessing there's something I need to reset, but I'm lost as to what. I did try swapping to a different mirror, and a power cycle, but no change - there are still no updates available, but I'm not updated either.

Maybe the package database was damaged. You can do a health audit and/or run

# pkg install opnsense

And see if that helps.

pkg check didn't do anything interesting, but force installing the opnsense pkg again seems to have done the trick. Thanks.

Well the health check would have said something along the lines of "opnsense package not found" ;)
