      I tried the update this morning. It uninstalled, then when it goes to install it cant find the file on the pfsense servers apparently and halts the install.
      Now I am running without snort atm.. Not sure if I need to give it more time to appear properly or if there was an issue with the upload. If this isnt fixed.. any way to get snort back on the box?

        Not all of the pull requests have been accepted yet if I'm looking at this correctly: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pulls

        Anyways, you should try again in an hour or so. I'm not 100% sure, but it could be that the binaries are still being built or something. Ermal merged bmeek's pull request 30 minutes ago.

          I figured something was up.. thats why i get for jumping on the bandwagon too quickly..  I usually wait a bit.. but seen the update on the dashboard and decided to update it.

          Thanks for the reply.. will try again in a bit as its still failing atm.

            With Snort package binary version updates I would probably wait until bmeek's has a post up for the new version on this forum section. :)

            There's still a lot of room for improvement with the pfSense package system as it now just checks for the version number and there's no guarantee that all the files have been compiled and are in place in the repository.

              Hello,

              when will snort be available? I can´t find anything telling when it will be installable.

              thanx

                  Can u say me something about it ?

                  Maybe you can fix this with uploading the file(s)

                      It downloads just fine here, double-slash or not.

                        How ?

                        If I look in the folder "http(s)://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/" i cannot find any file named "snort-2.9.6.0-amd64.pbi".

                        So how can u download it ?

                          Is it possible to roll back the current packages list until the new package is up so that there aren't 12 dozen posts stating the download failed.

                            Hello,

                            sorry for disturbing, but there is no package available for download:

                            Look here: https://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/

                            Is there the read-acces to everyone set or not?

                                    The same here. Indeed, it looks like file hasn't been uploaded yet:

                                        The vast majority of us still cannot see the package uploaded. Maybe a read permission issue? Or a rsync hiccup?

                                        Regards,

                                        Luigi

                                          Yeah.. I'm not seeing that file there :)

                                          Maybe it's an issue with some of the mirrors?
