Trying to upgrade to OPNsense Business Edition

[jimp]

Hi,

Currently I'm using OPNsense Community Edition (24.7_5) and I'm trying to upgrade to the Business Edition - I'm getting this error message:

The matching OPNsense 24.10 series does not yet exist. Images are available to switch this installation to the latest business edition.

Well, yes. You can't upgrade to 24.10 yet because it will be released in October. Not sure if you just set up the installation or you came from 24.1.x...

You need to reinstall with a 24.4 image, but I would recommend using a backup of your last 24.1.x configuration.


Cheers,
Franco

Hello Jimp, Hello Franco,
coming from OPNsense 24.7.4_1-amd64, i got the same Message, while trying to switch to business.

Is it possible to stay at the current version and wait until October and then trying to switch?

Best Regards
Wolfgang

I am a business licensee as well.

I moved to the latest community version twice so far.

when openssl was on the unsupported version.  and now when freebsd is unsupported.      I will move back to business in October as Franco states. 

   the process is so easy.    just backup your configuration before hand.   and have a known usb drive with a working version of opnsense just in case

Hi Wolfgang,

Yes, that works too.

It's October now, I'm on 24.10_1 business..

The matching OPNsense 24.10 series does not yet exist. Images are available to switch this installation to the latest business edition.

Can you provide more context like the check for updates log? Obviously 24.10 exists also because you already have it...

Congratulations, here is your issue:

pkg: wrong architecture: FreeBSD:13:amd64 instead of FreeBSD:14:amd64
pkg: repository repo-mihak contains packages with wrong ABI: FreeBSD:13:amd64

It's an ill-maintained third party repository.

@franco: ok, it's an ill-maintained third-party repository. And so what? I've got the same problem than mahagen. As a result, I can't install new plugins, for example. I've got a 3-year business edition. How do I fix this issue? Thank you.

If you have added a third-party repo (https://repo.mihak.link/ was the one mentioned ) then best remove it and run the update check again. And let the maintainer of that repo know that you like updated packages.

@franco: ok, it's an ill-maintained third-party repository. And so what?

Keeping it will break your OPNsense, BE or CE.

Removing the repo will not suffice. The damage is already done.

You can try chasing down and removing all the non-OPNsense packages, but the only sane option is to install fresh and import the config - without that repo added.

> And so what?

We're making sure upgrades work, but this does not extend to third party repositories, because we do not offer them to anyone. I hope this is clear now.


Cheers,
Franco
