Suricata 2.1.6 install completed with failure, and now fails to uninstall
-
The Suricata install completed even though some files failed to download. pfSense 2.2.4-RELEASE, full. I had download problems with pfBlockerNG, too, but at least I was able to uninstall that.
Suricata is broken and can’t be uninstalled, with the following error:
Warning: require(/usr/local/pkg/suricata/suricata_defs.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/pkg/suricata/suricata.inc on line 47 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/usr/local/pkg/suricata/suricata_defs.inc' (include_path='.:/etc/inc:/usr/local/www:/usr/local/captiveportal:/usr/local/pkg') in /usr/local/pkg/suricata/suricata.inc on line 47
I could reinstall pfSense, but I’d like to learn a bit by fixing this. The underlying problem is that the two different pfSense installations I have are experiencing package and/or file download failures. They are both 2.2.4-RELEASE (one full, and one nanobsd) and connect to two different ports on the same ISP router. I just downloaded a 335 MB photo-editing application update, which worked fine.
Please advise.

Not sure why the packages are failing to download… But try the following command from the shell or command prompt:
fetch -o /usr/local/pkg/suricata/suricata_defs.inc "https://packages.pfsense.org/packages/config/suricata/suricata_defs.inc"This will download the missing file to the correct path… Then try an un-install and see if that works...
The XML manifest file for the package is here:

That worked. I was able to delete the Suricata package. I'm left with what's causing my package downloads to fail, but will create a different topic for that after a 7 GB CentOS download completes in a few hours, if that is successful.
Thank you!
