        Ok i get it , the reason is ..package is missing … as i saw  :( all i whant to know is from where pfsense takes data for package install, becouse  at least i can try to change the path to install and use the old package snort-2.9.0.5 until the new one comes.

          you'll find it here http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/  I have a feeling its not going to work because the package install via gui is going to fail because it the file isn't there right now.

              Just ran into the same issue here.  I hope they place the latest snort package in the appropriate folder soon.

                I tried upgrading the snort package, same error, the second URL, http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz, returns a 404 not found error.

                  That is a corrected path for the amd64 release. It appears the 8.1 path no longer exists.

                    i386 is at http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz
                    Don't we need snort package compiled for pfsense?

                      yes because there is a patch that is needed so it can integrate into pfsense for auto blocking

                        in my case
                        rm -r /var/db/pkg/snort-2.9.0.5_1
                        pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz

                        Then I try to install snort 2.9.2.3 from pfsense package manager again. It's only install perl-threaded-5.10.1_3.tbz from package manager.
                        Now snort 2.9.2.3 is running on my PfSense 2.0.1 i386

                                yes sadly the same problem here - it was too soon to cheer, it installed everything fine and configuration went fine but it won't start and no error message also. Strange is that on snort page it says the old package version not the new one…

                                  It would because the GUI is from pfSense.. Snort doesn't come with a GUI… You have to create the config files by hand... pfSense GUI creates the files for us

                                        this is most likely because you installed the snort package from freebsd.org… you have to be very careful when install packages that aren't from files.pfsense.org... you can break your box...

                                        ps snort didn't start because i believe it needs a patch to make it work with pf...
