Upgrade fail from 25.1.10 to 25.1.11 (Community edition)

[VTOLfreak]

Anyone ran into this before? First time I had an upgrade fail to boot up. (This is a VM in Proxmox BTW)
I can provide the config file if needed but rather not throw it onto a public forum as it might contain passwords.

A few people actually, but I fail to se why 25.1.11 is special and would break simplexml in particular. It smells like an issue with a third party repo interaction but nobody has given a hint in that direction yet.

Unfortunately recovering without reinstall is cumbersome in these particular cases breaking PHP execution.


Cheers,

The recovery process was simply restoring the VM snapshot. I was back up and running in two minutes.
But it does sound like I will have to create a new install as I can't upgrade from this one.

I didn't add any plugins to my installation that didn't come from the opnsense repository if that is what you mean. (see screenshot)

If this is running on a qemu guest, you don't need cpu microcode packages. Though I don't think it does any harm, it's one less package in the mix.
