"libutil.so.10" not found
hmm, see: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/198800/solved-pkg-upgrade-not-found-required-by-pkg/2
And thanks, I had missed that post.

version 2.2.2_2 of pkg
May have been pulled yesterday by https://forum.netgate.com/topic/198787/what-is-it-25.11.a.20250916.0600/6 as that was logged on the router I used. I haven't tried running pkg though.

Sure enough:
<13>1 2025-09-16T10:23:23.770794-07:00 fw pkg-static 66477 - - pkg upgraded: 1.21.3_5 -> 2.2.2_2I didn't take any action to initiate that which makes me rather uncomfortable.

@dennypage You logged in ~1 minute before that. :) I think it's part of the dashboard update check.

LOL, yes.
However, any package / firmware changes need to require an explicit action to be taken by an administrator. Simply logging in definitely should never constitute such an action.

@dennypage That's a valid question. In general, in the past the "current" branch would change versions over time and presumably the update was tied to checking the new version. So it's not new behavior AFAIK but I wonder if it's still necessary.
FWIW this is also (seems) related to the "another instance is running" warning when logging in and immediately trying to update. On slower/ARM devices it can take a few minutes to update pkg and after that log entry appears the "other instance" is no longer running, in my experience.
That said though, I checked my home router and it was 29 hours after the login so seems unrelated:
Sep 15 11:28:06 php-fpm 23574 /index.php: Successful login for user 'admin' from: _____ (Local Database) Sep 16 16:31:44 pkg-static 7428 pkg upgraded: 1.21.3_5 -> 2.2.2_2I checked a 2100 where the last login was Sept 11 and it doesn't have pkg upgrading at all, until I logged in just now. Here's the delay for pkg there. Note the different version:
Sep 17 15:51:51 php-fpm 93201 /index.php: Successful login for user 'admin' from: _______ (Local Database) Sep 17 15:59:32 pkg-static 69005 pkg upgraded: 1.21.3_4 -> 1.21.3_5 -
I made a redmine for the pkg update delay.

Hmm, yes pkg is upgraded by pfSense-upgrade during the check to be sure it can check for pkgs!
But it can result in that ugly error. pkg-static should always work though as you found. -

Jim replied to it already, short version, it's already solved. "...in Plus 25.11 and CE 2.9.0 the certutil program has been rewritten in C upstream and now completes in <1 second even on 1100."

Yup, it's waaaay faster!
