Hey rivm,

this might help for checking against references that FortiGate might still have (for whichever reason).

Additionally, run the command
diagnose debug config-error-log read
Example output:
FGT # diag debug config-error-log read
>>> "end" @ global.system.replacemsg.spam.smtp-spam-emailblock:failed command (error -56)
>>> "config" "system" "cluster-sync" @ global:command parse error (error -61)
>>> "set" "summary-proto" "smtp" "pop3" "imap" "http-get" "http-post" @ root.dlp.sensor.sniffer-profile:command parse error (error -61)
Time=2025-07-30 10:05:55 Version=70427.32025 ffdb_map_do_read_flash: ret=-5, FFDB Flash Error: version error
ffdb_map version mismatch, the Internet Service Database will automatically update
Time=2025-07-30 10:10:55 Version=00000.00000 ffdb_map_parse: ret=-3, FFDB Map Error: internal error
to see if there were any issues on the upgrades that concern these objects.
