Update station failed

Hi

I'm using GhostBSD for about a year now with no problems. Running Reaper DAW (portable edition) for music production. I just wanted to see how well audio/music software works on a FreeBSD based system. Works OK!. However the only problem that I have encountered recently is that the Update Station reveals a blank window with no list of updates. Do I have to manually update to correct this?

Thanks
Colm

Sorry about that. It hasn't happened to me before. Try running

pkg update

Then run update station

@Colm I think you have a package installed that does not exist in the packages repos. I had the same problem with elecron12. The system wanted to upgrade it to electron13, but it was crashing. So I think you are facing the same problem.

I recommend doing sudo pkg autoremove and doe sudo pkg update -f and sudo pkg upgrade -f. If the problem persists, pkg upgrade -f will show you the problem package. After that, you can remove it and search for a new version available.

Your upgrade should work after that.

Thanks for your reply, got it sorted out with sudo pkg autoremove, sudo pkg update -f and sudo pkg upgrade -f. Cheers :D
