ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libmd.so.7" not found, required by "pfSense-repoc"

[rrauenza]

I’m getting this message ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libmd.so.7" not found, required by "pfSense-repoc" on the update GUI when trying to check for updates. I may have earlier clicked update, and since I got no response, clicked away.

I can still ssh in at the moment, and disk is not full. I have not rebooted yet.

The previous update log is from 2024, and the current update log says..

-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel      0 Sep 12 07:48 upgrade_log.json
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel  70027 Nov 27  2024 upgrade_log.latest.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel    238 Sep 12 07:48 upgrade_log.txt

[24.11-RELEASE][admin@pfSense]/cf/conf: cat upgrade_log.txt 
>>> Setting vital flag on pfSense...done.
>>> Renaming current boot environment from default to default_20250912074838...done.
>>> Cloning current boot environment default_20250912074838...done.
>>> Removing vital flag from php83...done.

What can I do to fix, or maybe proceed with the update? Should I? I’m running ZFS and this is a net gate bare metal device.

That's an ugly error but shouldn't actually cause a problem because pfSense-upgrade itself uses statically compiled versions of pfSense-repoc and pkg.

You should still be able to select the 25.07.1 branch there and upgrade to it.
