Resolved ----> Quest for older package wget??

[JonathanLee]

Is it possible to open a tac request for 22.05.01 ??

Goal: I want to install 23.05.01 on my new SSD the issue I am having is Snort will install the .13 version and that version has core dump issues. The version 4.1.6.11 is what I am after, how can I do this??

Can I do a pkg get and request that version? Or do I need to install a firmware version were that version installs?

(Image: Goal 23.05.01 with this package version)

I know you can wget a github package can I do the same here to get .11 ??

I assume you want the aarch64 pkg for 2100?

I don't think 4.1.6_11 exists in any repo any longer. 4.1.6._7 or 4.1.6_8 are in the 23.01 and 23.05 repos. 23.05.1 now has 4.1.6_13

@stephenw10 yes the .13 has the known core dump issues so it doesn't work.

[stephenw10]

It might still be in the pkg cache on your device. Check /var/cache/pkg

@stephenw10
Thanks!!!!

I got an older copy I had in an older B.E.

It actually wasn't listed in the default B.E. anymore... Does this tmp folder get automatically delete after some time, or after any repo changes?

Anyway: I now got a copy now how do I reinstall it manually??

Side Note: With a 2100 and compex wifi card could one install AirSnort too? I mean it's got the compex card on it. You ever play with that old packet sniffer tool in the late 90s?

[stephenw10]

Maybe. I've not tried it in pfSense/FreeBSD.

@stephenw10 how can I reinstall that pkg, is it just a simple command line item now that I have the .11 snort package

[stephenw10]

You can use pkg install -f with the explicit path to the pkg file. However you may need to install the dependencies first otherwise it will pull in the current pkg versions.

@stephenw10 Thanks, if you need a copy of this version .11 just let me know. It worked great it never crashes, it's a very solid version that was on 23.05.01

[JonathanLee]

It worked for the old package!!! I needed to install the dependency first.

It is installed and working but I can't see it in the package manager is that ok if it is not listed in that area?

pkg install -f  -y /tmp/snort-2.9.20_3.pkg

pkg install -f  -y /tmp/pfSense-pkg-snort-4.1.6_11.pkg

working

Only Issue: No snort listed..

However it is detected with pkg upgrade
