OPNSense managed to destroy itself during an update, still people wonder why companies buy Fortinet...

@buherator out of curiosity in what way and what update ?

@kstrlworks Clean install from ISO (latest minor) -> firmware update from webUI to latest patch. The updater removed basic files, then failed to extract the updated ones so everything just stopped working.

@buherator Oh interesting! I checked mine, given I installed it a long while ago, and it's running the latest minor version now with no crashes or errors. Must have been something that changed in the installer, maybe?

@kstrlworks It looks like a transient error, most likely a corrupt download. Shit happens ofc, but he only acceptable reason for bricking the system would be hardware error which is very unlikely because other VMs on the same host run just fine.
