      Downloading package configuration file… done.
      Saving updated package information... done.
      Downloading squid and its dependencies... done.

        From a shell, look at the output of:

        pkg_info
        

        And delete anything squid related with:

        pkg_delete <name></name>
        

        Then try to install it again.

          Thanks for the advice,

          I only have 2 packages installed

          bandwidthd   System   No info, check the forum   2.0.1.2

          rate Network Management No info, check the forum 0.9

          when I install squid (it seems to crash when installing perl)

          I checked the pkg_ino

          I see

          -bandwithdd

          -db41_4-41.25 the berkly db package rev 4.1
          -gd-20.35.1 - a graphics library for fast creation of images
          -jpeg-6b-4-1JG - jpeg compression library
          -libiconv - a character set conversion library

          I did delete 2 packages that were related to squid but it still crashes not those packages no longer show but the above is what is left.  I don't' want to mess up the system so I'm being cautious should I erase any of the above?

          right after squid is extracted i get this message

          Downloading package configuration file… done.
          Saving updated package information... done.
          Downloading squid and its dependencies... done.
          Checking for successful package installation... failed!

          Installation aborted.
