Cannot update past 25.7.0

[bezulsqy]

I am suffering from some kernel panic crashes and wanted to update to see if this resolves my issues. However I run into some errors. Looking through the forum I see some other people had issues with this as well.

I tried: the bootstrap command and this triggered an update and reboot, however firmware stayed at the same version 25.7.0

When I tried update from console I got this message:
Missing /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/OPNsense.conf


Here is the health audit:

How can I update?
Or do I need to do a complete re-install?

About the panics, see if this: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=42985.0, #23, applies to you.

IDK if the panic already has corrupted anything on your filesystem (it should not have if you use ZFS).

It's UFS. That's why it is in the audit output. ;)

Thank you for the fast response. I am indeed using a n100 Intel mini-pc to run opnsense.
I am going to do a fresh re-install of everything and make the changes mentioned in that topic.

I did not use ZFS because of the "ZFS eats SSDs" issue. Because I bought the mini-pc second hand I wanted to try it first with the included RAM and SSD. I might put in a new SSD with a know and great TBW rating.
