      @patient0 I am seeing the stuff posted for both nano and sudo. I know I don't need nano just wanted to try and see if it would have the same problem as sudo and it does. Tried installing in GUI first but it failed too. Says I have to remove package pfsense, which would be dumb. I have suricata, system patches, acme, pfblockerng, service watchdog and ntopng installed

      From GUI:

      Installing pfSense-pkg-sudo...

      The following 6 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

      New packages to be INSTALLED:

      sudo: 1.9.16p2 [pfSense]

      Number of packages to be removed: 4
      Number of packages to be installed: 2

      The operation will free 115 MiB.

      Proceed with this action? [y/N]:

        @MrWhatZitTooya666 Mmmh, I wasn't able to reproduce that issue yet.

        Did you upgrade from CE 2.7.2 or is this a fresh installation of CE 2.8.0?

              Diagnostics - Command Prompt copy/paste and hit execute

              pkg -vv | awk '/^Repository/{repo=$2} /url/{print repo, $3}'
              

              This should return two URLs for core 2.8 and base, both targeting netgate servers.
              If you see some freebsd servers instead, something or somebody have changed repo.conf

                So just tested this on my 2.8 since I had it up testing other stuff for another thread. And installing sudo works normally via gui install.

                  My install already had nano on it on 2.7.2, I did the upgrade keeping all packages, no errors, and nano still works as well.

                  pfSense CE 2.8.0

                    @w0w this is what I got

                    /root: pkg -vv | awk '/^Repository/{repo=$2} /url/{print repo, $3}'
                    "pkg+https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_8_0_amd64-core",
                    "pkg+https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_8_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_8_0",

                    I have a snapshot on proxmox from right before I updated to 2.8 if I can't figure out this problem.

                        @MrWhatZitTooya666 said in Installing sudo or nano issues?:

                        "pkg+https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_8_0_amd64-core",
                        "pkg+https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_8_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_8_0",

                        looks good.

                        Try Forced pkg Reinstall

                        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html

                        To forcefully reinstall all packages, take the following steps:

                        • Make a backup
                        • Clean the repository and forcefully reinstall pkg, repo data, and the upgrade script:
                        pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade
                        
                        • Force a reinstall of everything:
                        pkg-static upgrade -f
                        
                        • Review the list of changes and enter y to proceed

                        • Manually reboot the firewall
