        @grandrivers so what is swapping that uses up all your swap space? did you run the top command?

              Packages can't be broken, as such a situation would take the system down fast.
              The issue is nearly always : the (your) settings.

                  No changes to "pfblockerng-deve" means : it does nothing.

                  You'll be seeing this :

                  Actually, it does something : occupying disk space.

                  About unbound : See here.

                      upgrade pfsense development version

                      Yeah, right - oops - I didn't saw you posted in the "2.7.0" forum.
                      My comment is meaningless.
                      Can't help you much with 2.7.0 as it is bleeding edge technology.
                      And ones in a while the latest build is a bummer, and forces you to take the next nightly build, with could be fine, or have some issues else where.

                        Check the Status > Monitoring graphs for RAM usage over time. You may be hitting a memory leak.
