      Upgrade 22.05 -> 23.01 on a SG-5100
      Running pfBlockerNG-devel 3.2.0_1

      Widget reporting error in DNSBL.
      |ERROR| [pfBlockerNG]: Failed to load python module 'maxminddb': No module named 'maxminddb'
      |ERROR| [pfBlockerNG]: Failed to load python module 'sqlite3': No module named '_sqlite3'

      Tried reboot.
      Tried pfBlocker reload dnsbl.

      From system.log:
      py311-maxminddb-2.2.0_2 installed
      py311-sqlite3-3.11.1_8 installed
      pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel upgraded: 3.1.0_11 -> 3.2.0_1

      Would like to know how to fix this error.

        @jonh said in 23.01 pfBlockerNG-devel error:

        Failed to load python module 'sqlite3': No module named '_sqlite3'

        Check out this 'list' :

        Failed to load python module 'sqlite3': No module named '_sqlite3'

          @gertjan Thanks, it appears to be a common problem. I did not have this error with 22.05 (or didn't notice it if I did) whereas other reports were from earlier versions of pfSense.

            @jonh Read through https://forum.netgate.com/topic/177212/pfblockerng-devel-v3-1-0_19-10/45 as it seems it was supposed to be fixed but others have reported it on the RC.

            They are supposed to be the same now but you might try uninstalling pfBlockerNG-devel and installing pfBlockerNG.

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

              Fixed.
              For future readers: This is what I did, I do not know if every step was necessary.

              I am using pfBlockerNG-devel 3.2.0_1
              In pfB logs page, I deleted py_error.log and the error.log
              I then deleted the pfB widget from the dashboard and saved new dashboard.
              Did a force update of pfB dnsbl.
              Then reinstalled the pfB widget and it is ok so far.
