I have the Pfsense 2.7.0.
In Package Manager there is no list of packages. Tryed to reset Pfsense.

Tryed updating it by Shell: /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static update -f

I got this error:

"

From the command line make sure DNS is working and you can resolve names. If it’s not DNS there are a few other things listed in the pfsense forums to try:

What worked was

  1. certctl rehash
  2. then pkg-static -d update

Ran into this also,
Did what Nextwo said

 certctl rehash 
pkg-static -d update

it worked and allowed me to both update packages and update the pfsense version.

I was on

Confirmed worked for me as well:

certctl rehash
pkg-static -d update

Was also stuck on:

2.7.0-RELEASE (amd64)

Thank you for this post! Google worked for me :sunglasses: :sunglasses:
