Cant update Major versions on GUI - only on CLI

[mosesman831]

Hi all,

I was on 25.1.12 (Community, amd64) and could never get the GUI to offer an upgrade to 25.7 when clicking "Check for updates". It only ever showed package updates.

I eventually ran:

Code Select Expand

opnsense-update -uwhich successfully upgraded me to 25.7 (after reboot). I then tried again from the GUI to get to 26.1, but the GUI still didn't show any new core/major updates. Again, only:

Code Select Expand

opnsense-update -uwould pull 26.1 (base + kernel).

Current firmware settings:

Type: community

Flavour: default

Mirror: https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/25.7 (previously /25.1 when I was on 25.1.12)

I expected the web GUI to offer the 25.1 to 25.7 and 25.7 to 26.1 upgrades automatically, like it used to in earlier versions, but it never did — only the CLI opnsense-update -u path works.

Is this expected behaviour with the series‑pinned mirror URLs (.../25.1, .../25.7), or is something wrong with my firmware/mirror configuration?
