      Honestly.. I wasted days on this..

      but I came up with this…

      Uninstall them all..

      run pkg-info to make sure they are gone..

      go to /usr/local/pkg/ and delete all references to squid

      then install squidguard first - it will fail to complete...
      then install squid3
      then reinstall squidguard pkg and xml

      it should work.. i can repeat this everytime now

          Not sure what pkg-info is, I didnt find anything built into pfsense already or its not a valid command.

          I need a hint on where to run this

          Thanks!

                  So I updated to the latest version of Squid and well, Squid and SquidGuard do not want to start.

                  So I tried the following which working in the past for me:
                  Uninstall all Squid related packages
                  run pkg_info to make sure they are gone..
                  go to /usr/local/pkg/ and delete all references to squid
                  then install squidguard first - it will fail to complete…
                  then install squid3
                  then reinstall squidguard pkg and xml

                  However when I run pkg_info it continues to show 'squid-3.1.19'

                  Anyways how do I remove that so I can try the reinstall process to get everything working again

                    Squid3 current version is 3.1.20, did you updated this package recently?

                    uninstall squid3, go on console and check if there is a squid package there.

                    pkg_delete squid-3.1.19 should remove previous version if not done by package uninstall

                    do not reinstall squidguard after squid3 install to avoid package overwrite.

                      So the package was'nt listed in the console so I deleted with that command. Now no squid packages are listed in the console or the pkg_info.

                      So I installed Squid3 - 3.1.20 and I cannot get it to start. I havent installed SquidGuard yet.

                      Any ideas?

                        Try to start squid on console or check the system logs to see what is not working/starting.

                            status -> system logs

                            on console:

                            /usr/local/etc/rc.d/squid.sh start

                              Cleared out system log, tried starting squid three times. nothing shows in the system log.

                              I tried starting on console, got this error

                              /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libmd5.so.1" not found, required by "squid"
