Hi @Albert_Liu ,

Looks like you might be running into a bug where Invalid images under /opt/panrepo causes software download failures.  

You can reach out to TAC so they can confirm if you're actually hitting this exact bug and provide you with a valid upgrade path for the fix. They can also root into the device and remove the corrupted image after which you can try the software download again.

Kind regards,

Kim.
