[FIXED] - Unable to update to 22.1.8

[Taubin]

I attempted to run the update to 22.1.8 this morning, but it is failing.

The software seems to thin it's on 22.1.5 even though it's on 22.1.7. I show as being on

OPNsense 22.1.7_1-amd64

I attempt to update and the following shows

I rebooted and got the same for the updates. Attached are photos of the current version under dashboard and the version it seems to be attempting to update from. Not sure if it's due to the misreporting of the version (22.1.5 instead of 22.1.7). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Updating your packages will likely do nothing, since the FreeBSD Base and Kernel are updated via freebsd-update (opnsense-update) instead of pkg.

Can you send the output of "opnsense-version -O" and "freebsd-version -kru" ?

Hi,

I was having the same problem.

After a few experiments, it seems that the reason was an outdated/broken mirror.

I was using the dns-root.de mirror and after switching to the LeaseWeb (Frankfurt,DE) mirror I was able to upgrade all packages. (The mirror is configured under System > Firmware > Settings)

The package update should work using the web interface, but I forced it from the command line:

Code Select Expand


sudo opnsense-update -kbr 22.1.8 # updates kernel and base

... reboot ...

sudo opnsense-update -pfr 22.1.8 # reinstalls and upgrades all packages


This is what worked for me. But as usual YMMV.

Thank you very much! It was in fact an outdated mirror. It worked just fine this morning using the mirro I had selected before (cloudflare). Thank you all for the help. Cheers!

The mirror isn't outdated. Cloudflare caching is broken it seems, or they cache so excessively that they want to save as much bandwidth as possible for whatever reason. Data integrity doesn't seem to be their top tier goal.


Cheers,

[Taubin]

Thank you Franco that makes sense.

I'll switch to another mirror. I just chose that one as there are no mirrors close to me at all (New Zealand). Cheers!

[franco]

This is the actual dilemma with the Cloudflare mirror. It is really handy for some folks with locations all over the world otherwise we would have removed it already.


Cheers,
Franco

I had exactly the same problem with Cloudfare last night (New Zealand).  Changing to LeaseWeb San Francisco worked.

I also have mixed success with Cloudflare, very fast ping times, but not always reliable.
