      @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.

                Version _16 reverts the last change but it appears the issue is deeper than that...

                        If _17 has been reverted, we should expect a _18 in a near future ?
                        If so, I'll just wait for that release.

                                Version 3.2.0_17 has the changes reverted that caused the issue and is safe to upgrade to.

                                That also means if you're upgrading pfSense to 24.03 and have pfBlockerNG-devel installed it will now complete correctly.

                                    If you are upgrading from one of the effected versions, _15 or _16, you will still need to kill the DEINSTALL script that hangs there to allow it to continue.

                                      @stephenw10 I killed the DEINSTALL process but the result is the same. I'm upgrading from _15.
