Undefined symbol "__libc_start1@FBSD_1.7" on pfSense Plus 23.01

stephenw10

It shouldn't matter that pkg has been updated. It's only an issue if you're using pkg at the CLI in which case you will see that error if you don't use pkg-static.

I somehow lost my active repos. Toggling back and forth between 23.01 and 23.05 doesn't help.
I wonder if I could scp some files from a working machine into the system. Or somehow fix a symlink or so.

[23.01-RELEASE][root@some.host]/root: pkg-static clean -ay ; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade
pkg-static: No active remote repositories configured
pkg-static: No packages available to install matching 'pfSense-repo' have been found in the repositories
pkg-static: No packages available to install matching 'pfSense-upgrade' have been found in the repositories

Unfortunately this box is in a protected environment, I can't let Netgate support in right now.

help appreciated, thanks

sgw

Some more infos:

# pkg --version
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/sbin/pkg: Undefined symbol "__libc_start1@FBSD_1.7"

# pkg-static install -f pkg-1.18.4_4
pkg-static: No packages available to install matching 'pkg-1.18.4_4' have been found in the repositories

According to the GUI I am on 23.01 branch ... but some repo-information seems to be lost right now.

stephenw10

Try running: pfSense-repoc-static

That should pull in repo data. Or show an error.

sgw

@stephenw10 "Command not found"

I managed to downgrade "pkg" as far as I see. And I reinstalled the repos, and somehow fixed that symlink:

ln -s /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-prev.conf pfSense.conf

I assume I should get things right on 23.01 at first?

Currently:

thanks ...

If you re-installed the repo pkg and it repopulated the symlink then it looks like it might not have the correct cert for the repo.

Try running pkg -d update to see the full error.

Check what cert it's using:

cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf

stephenw10

Oh, yeah if you added the symlink manually it probably also needs the pkg.conf updating manually. In 23.01 when set to 'Prev' it should look like:

ABI=FreeBSD:14:amd64
ALTABI=freebsd:14:x86:64
PKG_ENV {
	SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem
	SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-prev-cert.pem
	SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-prev-key.pem
}

sgw

@stephenw10

Compared /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf with another 23.01 box.

The whole block "PKG_ENV" was missing, added it.

Looks better, thanks ;-)

How to proceed now? Switch to 23.05 in the GUI?

sgw

@stephenw10

Currently I have:

ABI=FreeBSD:14:aarch64
ALTABI=freebsd:14:aarch64:64

PKG_ENV {
	SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem
	SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-stable-cert.pem
	SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-stable-key.pem
}

but as mentioned it seemed to work.

stephenw10

Yes, try switching to 23.05 and see if it allows you to update.

sgw

@stephenw10

Unfortunately not.

Option 13 gives me:

Enter an option: 13

even after toggling 23.01 -> 23.05 -> 23.01 -> 23.05 ...

Again "No active remote repositories configured", seems that the symlink is gone again.

stephenw10

Hmm, OK.
What do these show:

pfSense-upgrade -d

pkg-static -d update

sgw

@stephenw10

I think I messed it up even more. Currently php is messed up, GUI disfunctional.

# pfSense-upgrade -d

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function gettext() in /etc/inc/certs.inc:48

pkg-static -d update runs through OK.

stephenw10

Hmm, I assume reinstalling this would be difficult?

pkg-static -d update runs successfully against the 23.05 repo?

sgw

@stephenw10

reinstalling would include sending the appliance from one country to the other .. I am a few hundred kms away from that box. I have a 2nd SG1100 there (already on 23.05, no such issues there!), so it's possible, but it would be great to avoid that.

Yes, pkg-static -d update succeeds while:

stephenw10

Ah, it's an 1100?

Is it installed as ZFS? You can probably roll back to a snapshot before you tried to upgrade if so.

sgw

@stephenw10 yeah, zfs.

tried to reinstall php stuff and gettext etc ... a mess

gui broken, can I roll back from cli?

stephenw10

Yes, you can using bectl. Or from the loader if you have console access.

First check what there is:

bectl list -s

sgw

@stephenw10

 bectl list -s
BE/Dataset/Snapshot    Active Mountpoint Space Created

default
  pfSense/ROOT/default NR     /          897M  2023-02-10 22:00

nothing else

sgw

Could I get some list of php-packages to reinstall maybe? That might fix something ...

Rolling back is not possible as far as I understand. Looks as if everything has been written into this first boot env.

thanks
