Hello @all,

this is my change-log view from within OpnSense:

 23.7.12   2024-01-16   
23.7.11   2024-01-04   
23.7.10   2023-12-12   
23.7.9 (installed)   2023-11-23

When I select "Update" the following update results are returned:

My issue is that 23.7.9 is obviously not the most recent version but my OpnSense seems not to update anymore.
Also I have packages which have conflicts (they need 23.7.12):
os-acme-client (missing)   3.20   727KiB   3   OPNsense   ACME Client   
os-bind (missing)   1.29   155KiB   3   OPNsense   BIND domain name service   
os-realtek-re (missing)   1.0   361B   3   OPNsense   Realtek re(4) vendor driver   
os-theme-cicada (missing)   1.34_4   5.26MiB   3   OPNsense   The cicada theme - dark grey onyx   
os-theme-rebellion (missing)   1.8.9   5.22MiB   3   OPNsense   A suitably dark theme   
os-wireguard (missing)   2.6   84.6KiB   3   OPNsense   WireGuard VPN service kernel implementation

When trying to install one of these plugins I got the following message:
***GOT REQUEST TO INSTALL***
Currently running OPNsense 23.7.9 at Thu Jan 25 11:23:03 CET 2024
Installation out of date. The update to opnsense-23.7.12 is required.
***DONE***

So the plugins needs a more up2date version which cannot be installed because my OpnSense thinks it is the most recent version.

Anyone who has an idea how that issue can be solved without reinstalling?

By the way I have a community edition. Sorry if I post it here in the productive channel but I did not found a dedicated community edition thread.

Try upgrading from CLI, post the full output here

Thank you for the hint updating over cli.
But the effect remains the same:


  0) Logout                              7) Ping host
  1) Assign interfaces                    Shell
  2) Set interface IP address            9) pfTop
  3) Reset the root password            10) Firewall log
  4) Reset to factory defaults          11) Reload all services
  5) Power off system                   12) Update from console
  6) Reboot system                      13) Restore a backup

Health audit please, something is wrong in the package database (like core package forgot it's installed).


Cheers,
Franco

The last one sounds like what you mentioned, isn´t it?

Educated guess what will come next (without AI involved here :-D )

Not bad

Though here the health audit is fine otherwise so I think a simple solution will do:

# pkg install opnsense

[chemlud]

fine! :-) Although I can't detect a difference to the health ceck in the linked thread. But I'm tired... ;-)

[starlegion80]

pkg install did it, thank you very much Franco!

Well it appears opnsense-bootstrap was a little too much on the other thread as well. We all learn something I guess
