conflict between pfsense 2.7.2 and pfblockerng-dev

I suggest uninstalling pfBlocker before upgrading pfSense, and reinstalling (per the upgrade guide).

i dunno what netgate is doing to pfsense to lose compatiblity with these packages

Hi, so if you have squid package installed on 2.7.0 you can not update to 2.7.2?
Because it says it has no update on stable 2.7.2 branch... weird...
Thank you.

No, you can upgrade to 2.7.2 just fine and Squid will still be present.

[2.7.2-RELEASE][admin@t70.stevew.lan]/root: pkg search squid
lightsquid-1.8_5               Light and fast web based squid proxy traffic analyser
pfSense-pkg-Lightsquid-3.0.7_3 pfSense package Lightsquid
pfSense-pkg-squid-0.4.46       pfSense package squid
pfSense-pkg-squidGuard-1.16.19 pfSense package squidGuard
squid-6.3                      HTTP Caching Proxy
squidGuard-1.4_15              Fast redirector for squid
squid_radius_auth-1.10         RADIUS authenticator for squid proxy 2.5 and later
squidclamav-7.2                Clamav c-icap service and redirector for Squid

At some point we will probably have to remove Squid from our repo because the known security issues in it will make nonviable. Unless they are fixed perhaps.

Hi, thanks for replying .
But then why is it looking like this? What can I try to force the upgrade?

@mdalacu try this:

Thanks for the heads up. I will try it in weekend and report back.
Regards! :-)

Yup coming from 2.7.0 you probably need to run certctl rehash as shown there.

I run the pkg-static -d update, it gave the following log. Do anyone here have any ideas about the problem in upgrading we met?

Yup that error is what running certctl rehash solves.

mdalacu

@stephenw10 Yes, that was it!
I have managed to upgrade it directly from 2.7.0 to 2.7.2 without any apparent issue.
Thank you Stephen for you help!
