No update possible to 23.7.2

[eszett]

Hello Community,
as already described in the topic I can not update to 23.7.2. Short description what happened.
I have pushed the update of the repo via the GUi. There is always a window with the new features. The message and update I canceled to pull a backup of the config before. This also worked. A short time later the machine was no longer accessible. After a reboot, I can no longer perform updates. It comes the error message "The release type "opnsense" is not available on this repository."

***GOT REQUEST TO CHECK FOR UPDATES***
Currently running OPNsense 23.7.1_3 at Sat Aug 26 12:03:00 CEST 2023
Fetching changelog information, please wait... done
self: No packages available to install matching 'opnsense'
***DONE***


But according to ChangeLog 23.7.2 should be installed. In the shell I can't do anything via pkg update or opnsense-update -f either.

Dear community, I need some support or help.
Thanks!

It is a phy. machine. Currently it is running, but on state 23.7.1

Addendum: Apparently my pkg database is shot. I can't even reinstall nano. A pkg update and upgrade is executed without a message. Also I can't display the installed packages.

What's the output for these commands ?

df -h

Code Select Expand

opnsense-update -u

Also need to see the health check, either from the Firmware section or press 12 in the console and answer h to the yes/no prompt

opnsense-update -fur 23.7.2

the same commands with 23.7.1 worked and reboot

[newsense]

Try the -fiur switch instead.

-i will not verify the packages as there's something broken there, but if it completes then any missing bits should be repaired including signature verification for 23.7.3+

If you have a way of checking the output as the machine boots see if there's any message reporting the filesystem dirty, and check the smart data as well - should the hdd be dying.

Why are we forcing (-f) insecure (-i) major (-u) updates on users? Let's try to stay away from opnsense-update -u here... -r doesn't even work without a release number ;)

If the package database is damaged the only clean solution is to run a full bootstrap:

# opnsense-bootstrap

It will reinstall everything (avoiding a major upgrade wherever it may have taken the user) and keep all settings.

Thanks Franco, forgot about bootstrap (never had to use it either)

Precisely ;)

ssh should be fine

Brief feedback on my problem. The opnsense-bootstrap command made the firewall unusable and I had to reinstall the system completely. The old installation gave error messages that the filesystem is corrupt.

I see it sportily and could immediately test my backup. Unfortunately, the packages have to be reinstalled. Is there a way to check the package dependency?

Thanks that helped me!
