      I have a pfSense box that runs my main network. I recently went to install a package and found that not only is all updating/upgrading broken, but every once in awhile the whole gui will crash and all routing will cease until it decides to fix itself. I have been super frustrated as none of the solutions online seem to fix the issue.

      The output of "pkg update" is
      ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libssl.so.30" not found, required by "pkg"

      The current version it says its on is 2.7.0, even when I select 2.7.2

      And no matter what I try anywhere it refuses to update. I've checked and the box definitely has internet access and can ping google, others have said that this issue is an expired ssl cert. I am at a loss and am extremely frustrated that my main router is behaving this way. It almost sounds like I need to reinstall/use a different OS to fix this issue

      Any help is greatly appreciated, and any needed logs will be provided!

      Thanks

        Use: pkg-static -d update

        See what errors it shows, if any.

          @stephenw10 Yes, thank you for getting back to me, here is the output of running that command: error file

          The errors seem to still be ssl related and it keeps closing the connection

            Ah, that's a known issue. Run: certctl rehash
            Then retry.
