I tried to upgrade the snort and I got this message ::)…

Checking for package installation...
Downloading http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz ... could not download from there or http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz.

Any work around?

Got the same problem upgrading from 2.9.1 pkg v. 2.1.1 to 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.1.1 on pfSense 2.0.1 AMD64
"snort installation failed"

autarkis

Getting same error on i386 install.

When you check the repositories, it seems the FreeBSD 8.1-Release directory is gone.

Not sure how to modify the package, so now i dont have a snort install… ::)

I had changed back to PFsense 1.2.3 (Standby box) as I can't control torrents without snort!!

Got the same issue when I tried to upgrade Snort to : Stable 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.1.1 platform: 2.0

i just check github https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages/commit/868e1e048cae773da3b63b1d15b3e6340386df9c and and the binary was updated for the pfsense package… since packages are built custom for pfsense, they need to be compiled. Once its done, it will be located here: http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/

not sure when it will be built, that is a question for ermal

sronsen

Same issue here. At the least, please post instructions as to downloading and reinstalling previous version - FAST!

I found why .. take a look here http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,50313.msg267699.html#msg267699.

that isn't the reason why, read my post from earlier

uuh yeah, would be great if the old version was still online to reinstall…

sirWest

Also the same problem, should be a trivial fix by mods… sadly no rollback option so running w/o protection until fixed :/

pfnewbe

Here also same problem… Packages-tab where saying there was an update for snort.
During upgrade old package removed and new one cant be downloaded... :'(
Have anyone already made a bug-report to staff?

I'm having the same issue,
It seems that if you enter http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/ in your browser, the file that pfsense is trying to get "snort-2.9.2.3.tbz" is not there. Though there is "Snort-2.9.2.tbz" and older versions.
Are the URLS of these packages hard coded into pfsense or something?

There has got to be a way to install it manually..

From another thread, I come to know that, snort-2.9.2.3.tbz is available here,

amd64 is at http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz
i386 is at http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz

But, whether snort build updated to this link?

I am managing the show with old box.

@zer0:

I agree.
The only problem is all the correct dependencies with other packages.
I think the easiest way is to change the index back so it's possible to install the 2.9.2 version and put 2.9.2.3 only in when it's really available.

pfsense packages are hard coded… search the wiki and the forum for the reason why... but if you install package/port, it could install a file and can break pfsense. Snort-2.9.2.tbz GUI was never completed, it used a patches to communicate with pf i believe. I started a new topic request the dev to change the package so it would download the old binary until the new is built and is tested

2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Mon Dec 12 18:43:51 EST 2011
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6

In case the Snort devs do not know this. Or maybe it is just me?
