Unable to update past 25.7

[jcordeiro]

I am stuck on 25.7. When I try to update I received an incorrect pkg in the gui. So I tried using the CLI and was getting pkgdb.c.1633:database disk image is malformed. I then tried this in the CLI:

sudo pkg clean -ay
sudo rm -f /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite
sudo rm -f /var/db/pkg/repo-*.sqlite /var/db/pkg/*meta*

sudo pkg bootstrap -f
sudo pkg update -f

It seemed to work but it is still stuck on 25.7

Whenever I try to update I get the attached message that everything is up to date.

The health audit will likely tell you that the core package is not installed. This happens when the local package database is corrupt and the system thinks no packages are installed. Then it finds no updates when you check for them.

Please provide the health audit first.

Looks like there is a problem with the core package, is there a way to fix it?:

From the console run:

# pkg install opnsense

or

# opnsense-bootstrap

if the first command doesn't work, but normally it should.
