      similar experience going from _08 to _15 on 2.7.2 CE edition... can no longer get to \status\dashboard menu also, and uninstalling pfblockerng from package manager is unresponsive.

      in the meantime internet access and other menus continue to work...

      what is the best resolution out there at this moment please?

            Mmm, OK seeing that in 2.7.2 with the devel package here too. Appears to be an issue with the pkg install/deinstall script. Digging....

              Ok one thing you can do is kill the script in another terminal to allow installing the regular package which then restores access to the dashboard etc.

              So try to remove the devel version:

                  @stephenw10 What's the difference between the normal version 3.2.09 and the devel version 3.2.0_15 ?

                  Lucky running pfSense as a VM I have a backup before the update mess.

                      It's a good thing I found your suggestion here @stephenw10!

                      My box was running hot for the past few hours!

                        What I'm asking myself right now is the reason why that package remains there for update.
                        It needs to be pulled out asap..

                            I had to reboot. pfBlocker cron job was stuck at 100% before that.

                              @stephenw10 the pfsense box upon reboot is stuck on this line:

                              [fib_algo] inet.0 (bsearch4#20) rebuild_fd_flm: switching algo to radix4_lockless

                              line. ie not able to get into terminal - is this expected from this bug or is the box suffering from some other issue before this pfblockerng issue?

                              May require a complete reinstall of pfsense???

                                Nope that looks like something different. That line is not actually an error, that's always shown.

                                Try hitting ctl+t and see if it responds with whatever process is stuck.

                                    Mmm, this is the devel package where new code is added for testing. So normally this should not affect that many people but in pfBlocker the dev pkg has almost become the default so.....

                                    We are working on it....

                                      @stephenw10 Definitely understood and appreciated! The whole situation with the "devel" and "normal" packages becoming (to my knowledge) equivalent was always confusing. Much credit for addressing this and getting help out incredibly rapidly!

                                        @stephenw10 indeed, after a netflix episode it is back to the interface list / numbered menu again...

                                        but how do i do the uninstall per above screen cap - given can't get into the GUI now? is there a CL command to uninstall as you described above?

                                            whole situation with the "devel" and "normal" packages becoming (to my knowledge) equivalent was always confusing

                                            Driving on by, from what I've seen the not-devel was not being updated much for a while so everyone started using -devel. I know we had to at one point to get MaxMind to work on all our clients. We moved back to not-devel when they became equivalent, since we follow the recommendations and uninstall packages like that during upgrades, anyway. The maintainer has posted he's going to use -devel as more like a beta version, which I think was the original intent (?). Stuff like:

                                            Once these changes have baked for a few days in pfBlockerNG-devel, I will push these changes to pfBlockerNG.

                                            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.
