PfSense 2.3.2, Squid: install: not found

Asgaroth

Hi,

I tried to upgrade my firewall from v2.3.1 p5 to 2.3.2 via auto upgrade and this process failed.
I then re-installed v2.3.2 fresh and restored my configuration, however, when pfsense tries to install squid it fails.

I tried to install the package from the package manager and it displays the following error on the web interface:


>>> Installing pfSense-pkg-squid... 
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...

	c-icap-modules: 0.4.3 [pfSense]

The process will require 10 MiB more space.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Follow the workaround in Bug #6643:

ok so use the Menu diagnostic - command prompt and enter the following
tar xv -C / -f /usr/local/share/pfSense/base.txz ./usr/bin/install
then execute

How do I apply 2.3.2 again?

Console or SSH and run the pkg update -f, pkg upgrade -f

I am not yet a pro but with aunty google here is what I did

pfSense Menu System - Advanced (enabled SSH)
I use Ubuntu so in a terminal window I just did: ssh <ip of="" pfsense="">-l root
password is the same as when you login to the pfSense as admin
up came the console menu: choose 8 (Shell)
now you can use: pkg upgrade -f
dont' forget to disable ssh again

Thank you Steve
PS: Upgrade is ok, all services are green</ip>
