      Did you reboot pfSense after you deleted the package including the settings. I seem to recall that you need to do that in order to clear all the old settings in the config file, other files, etc?

        @jdeloach Yes. Still the error persists.

          @hefferbub said in pfBlocker-NG-devel 3.2.0_3 not uninstalling on 23.01:

          I did check that

          You need to UNcheck the "keep settings" box. Otherwise the config is left in the config file, for example to keep settings after a pfSense version upgrade.

          re: PHP error, with the migration to PHP 8 there have been quite a lot of PHP errors that were found in rarely used code. If it can be replicated you can look for it and make a report at https://redmine.pfsense.org.

          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.

              I tried uninstalling the devel version today (with Save Config unchecked), and it did not produce any errors.

              However, when I download the config.xml, there are still several hundred lines of PFBlocker entries.

                  @lohphat Any reason why you cant upgrade to _4 then remove? If there is regression in an old package but not in the new one i dont see the redmine going places.

                    @michmoor Well you mentioned the issue of config crud still in the config file after removal. I included that in the bug description. So even if it doesn't throw a stack trace under _4 the config cleanup is still broken.

                          @lohphat darn…I’ve seen this somewhere..Reddit maybe? I hope you get your answer but I would recommend posting on the pfblocker subreddit. The maintainer does chime in.
