Upgrade GhostBSD xfce 20.12.25 to 21.01.20 fails

Post by GhostPuma »

Hello,
I'm running GhostBSD Xfce 20.12.25 as guest inside VirtualBox 6.1 on a Linux host. It's running fine. Until now I didn't get a notification about an existing upgrade inside GhostBSD.

Code: Select all

sudo pkg info os-generic-userland | grep Version
returns:
Version: 20.12.25

To get 21.01.20 I tried to upgrade by using the following commands:

Code: Select all

sudo pkg update -f
returns:
...
GhostBSD repository update completed. 30392 packages processed.
All repositories are up to date.

Code: Select all

sudo pkg upgrade
returns:
...
Your packages are up to date.

Does anyone know a trick to overcome this behaviour?

greets and tia

Robert

That did not fail the ISO version will never match with the OS packages version.

The ISO version is the day that it has been built.

Also, I recommend using update-station to upgrade the system and not the pkg command.

Hi ericbsd,
thanks for your reply. update-station says there are no updates available.
So I understand that my installation ist up-to-date with version 20.12.25, right?
