22.1–>22.7 forever spins on “fetching packages-22.7”

[Shadowpho]

I am trying to update 22.1 ->22.7.
After I start update it spins continuously. It just keeps adding dots over and over forever.

There’s no error or anything, it just never finishes.

Help?

Currently running OPNsense 22.1.10_4 (amd64/OpenSSL) at Sat Jul 30 16:09:15 PDT 2022
Fetching packages-22.7-OpenSSL-amd64.tar……………. (Many dots removed)

The package fetch probably stalls but never times out. Please do a connectivity audit and post the results here. This is often the case with defunct IPv6.

That’s strange, my ISP does not offer ipv6.  What is connectivity audit? My connection is usually bulletproof in this hardware.

Yes, but

Franco,

Do you have any update on how we can install the latest firmware without it loading forever like this?  I have the same problem && my ISP does not support ipv6. ipv6 is disabled in my OpnSense.

Try a different mirror, make sure you can fetch files locally from the firewall... IPv6 might not be fully disabled. First and foremost it needs to be disabled under IPv6 mode for [WAN] interface.

Franco,

I can fetch files & access the internet no problem.  IPv6 was not set to None in WAN, and I've updated that.  Unfortunately I decided to just leave it alone and continue to print the dots ".....", and once I got back ~2 hours later, it had been upgraded to 22.7, with more upgrades to get me to 22.7.6.

I got a bunch of PHP Warnings about: "Unable to load dynamic library 'mongodb.so'".  I am currently doing a quick health check & update once again, and it seems to want to download an additional 250 mb of packages.

Seems to be working fine, now.

For mongodb issue please run:

# pkg remove php74-pecl-mongodb

(it's related to how zenarmor installs packages but doesn't mark them as "automatic" so upgrades can fail)


Cheers,
