Exactly same thing happened to me. I rebooted after that and it was fine.

EDIT: actually no. check for updates reports a segmentation fault for one of the packages.

You installed the FreeBSD package manager version, which isn't good.

>   opnsense-26.1.3 [OPNsense] (Vital flag changed: 'true' -> 'false')

This looks like a weird database bug. Vital flag is never removed.

Try this first...

# opnsense-revert pkg


Cheers,

Did not work.

Had to:
# cd /tmp
# curl "https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/26.1/MINT/26.1.3/latest/All/pkg-2.3.1_1.pkg" --output pkg-2.3.1_1.pkg
# pkg install pkg-2.3.1_1.pkg
# opnsense-revert pkg

How do we fix the "Vital" flag now?

# opnsense-revert opnsense

Yes, this is the real problem, maybe try to update from console ?

There was an error about Segmentation Fault first, red popup.

What is expected here? Doesn't look like it worked as expected either:
