Hi Adolf,
Pakfire always automatically reinstalls the current release before updating if you are in the testing branch. See this function in the Pakfire code: https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=src/pakfire/lib/functions....
But unfortunately this is all I can contribute, my test system updated to 168 without problems!
Best regards Leo

Hi All,
I have tried to update my Core Update 167 vm machine three times now (using a clone) and have had several problems so I thought I would outline what has happened for further thoughts.
Normally my updates go without any real problems. This is the first time where this is not the case.
First try:-
After running the update, which went quite quickly, the bottom of the screen had
Core Update 167 Development Build: master/c22d834c
I couldn't remember if this is what is expected or not for Testing releases.
Rebooted the vm and on booting a large number of error messages scrolled across the console screen. My Virtualbox terminal for IPFire has no scroll capability so I can only write on things I saw as they flew past or what was on the screen when it stopped.
Lots of ipset restore error but went by too fast to get more detail.
Tried to access via the WUI and no access. Tried via SSH and no access.
Checked the red0 directory and there were no files present. Tried restarting red0 and got the following message
starting DUID 00:04:70:........ red0: interface not found
So I ran ip address show and it came up with only the lo interface. No red0, green0, blue0 or orange0.
Looked in bootlog and this was filled with around 4000 lines all the same
Loading of module with unavailable key is rejected
Second try:-
This time running the update took over 10 mins.
Noticed on the pakfire screen that it first ran a Core Update 167 upgrade then it ran the Core Update 168. My IPFire vm was definitely on Core Update 167.
/opt/pakfire/db/core/mine contained 167 beforehand.
Before doing the reboot I accessed via ssh and saw that in the /var/log/pakfire/ directory the update-core-upgrade-167 file has been updated as well as there being a 168. Both files had the same last modified date/time.
Rebooted. This time everything came back up okay but the bottom of the screen now just said Core Update 167 and there was no update-core-upgrade-168 file in the pakfire directory and the 167 version was back to its date of Apr 28
Repository was set back to Stable.
Changed again to Testing and it said again that there was an update from 167 to 168.
Before running the pakfire directory had the following
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.8K Mar 31 23:26 update-core-upgrade-166.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 323K Apr 28 09:47 update-core-upgrade-167.log
After running it had
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.8K Mar 31 23:26 update-core-upgrade-166.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 604K May 11 13:24 update-core-upgrade-167.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 175 May 11 13:24 update-core-upgrade-168.log
back to Core Update 167 Development Build: master/c22d834c at bottom of screen.
Rebooted.
All interfaces present. Pakfire under System Status: says Core-Update-Level: 168 and the bottom of the screen showed Core Update 167 Development Build: master/c22d834c
/opt/pakfire/db/core/mine has 168 in it
I checked the WIO wio.pl file that had a bug fix and it was as expected for CU168.
Third try:-
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 323K Apr 28 09:47 update-core-upgrade-167.log
Selected Testing and ran update from 167 to 168 which occurred very quickly.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 604K May 11 14:00 update-core-upgrade-167.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63K May 11 14:01 update-core-upgrade-168.log
Here is the log file info for pakfire from messages.1.gz and messages which shows it downloading and upgrading CU167 first then doing CU168 as far as I can tell.

Rebooted Lots of ipset restore error but went by too fast to get more detail. Several repeats of the following two lines on the console screen:-
iptables v1.8.7 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table `filter' : Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
Only lo interface present. All other interfaces red0, green0, blue0, orange0 not present.
I have given up at this point.
I have kept the clones of all three attempts so if you need any additional info from logs or files just let me know.
If this is something obviously wrong that I am doing, please let me know. If not then I will probably raise a bug on this.
Regards,
Adolf.
