"Danger. Unexpected error, check log for details" during 25.7.6 upgrade

[wstemb]

Seen the same error message on both machines in the cluster, no Web error, the upgrade continued and  finished. One server rebooted, because of the bigger jump between upgrades, the on other (slave/backup) not. 
After the upgrade all services went up (except frr on slave, which is expected). I  made the health check, everything OK.

Only bad news is that some pages, mostly pages that lists something (activity, logs) are now slow and unresponsive, with the browser message that the page is slowing down the browser (seen very seldom before).

Worst of them was the firewall live log, applied the first correction as instructed in another thread and now is working better, or the "System/Diagnostics/Activity" screen, which blocks the page for some seconds (with the upper browser message), but finishes at the end.

It's been about 24 hours since the hotfix went live and I haven't heard the issue is still happening. Incidentally, FreeBSD released pkg 2.4.0 which also includes this particular fix. So all of this went as expected.

Confirming I was able to successfully upgrade to 25.7.6 this morning.

Well, I've still got nothing but "403 Forbidden" in place of my webUI, and I am unable to actually log into the firewall whatsoever. It just doesn't accept my credentials/ssh keys anymore. Until I spend 5 hrs driving out to reload the box, about the only thing I can actually do is ping it. The good news is that it is still passing traffic, and I am able to remote in to the network behind it, so that removes a lot of the urgency from the task. Might have some time next weekend, I guess.

I am not getting a Dange notice.  But after updating to 25.7 I went to update to the latest an get this.

My system is still running so I am going to leave it for now thinking there is an issue with the update?  The first time it tried to update 90 packages and gut stuck on the third one.  It no longer does that.
Hope this helps

Tried zhis morning on third, test virtual OPNsense server. The upgrade from 25.7 (base) to 25.7.6 finished without any problems or messages.
Tried to upgrade two production server in the cluster, alredy on 25.7.6, on both I got

...
[1/1] Upgrading pkg from 2.3.1 to 2.3.1_1...
[1/1] Extracting pkg-2.3.1_1: .......... done

So I think the "problems" I described were before your intervention.

@Kg6hbh N100 perhaps?

@wstemb yep, that's the fixed version

If this happens to you when attempting to upgrade 25.7 to 25.7.8 on a fresh install, see :

https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=49933.0

[vpx23]

I just got this error message when updating from 25.7.5 to 25.7.8, but everything seems to be running fine.

This error also came first and I had to press update again, I guess because of the new pkg: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=49409.0

I got this strange message in the Backend log (configd):

Obviously after the reboot but I don't know if it is related.

Health audit shows no problems:

By the way why can't you see the full update log in "System: Firmware: Log File" which is shown during the update? It just looks like this (Debug):
