      The package is fine, you have leftovers from an older install laying around like cmb said.

      Try this:

      1. Remove the package if any parts of it are left (including lightsquid and squidguard)

      rm -rf /usr/local/etc/squid/
      

      3. Reinstall the package

        Yesss that did the trick, thank you so much mate, that was a huge relieve!  :D

        I got this thing after it, i am not sure if i should be bothered by it or not, for the time being i will just disregard it and try to configure the thing in a way that suit my needs, cheerio!

          Have performed the rm command like suggested above in Diagnostics - Command Prompt
          Worked the magic. Was able to install Squid successfully after.

          Message from pfSense-pkg-squid-0.4.18:
          Please visit Services - Squid Proxy Server menu to configure the package and enable the proxy.

          Cleaning up cache… done.
          Success

          Thank you!
          Regards
          Alex

                  I can't seem to install Squid 0.4.21 either.  :-(  I shouldn't have to do anything with the package dependencies listed should I?

                        That error was already covered previously in the thread, you need to clean up some leftovers from an old installation:

                        rm -rf /usr/local/etc/squid/

                          jimp thanks for inspiring me to try again.  I swear I typed that command previously and it didn't work.  :P

                          This time everything worked perfectly!  :) I just successfully reinstalled squid 0.4.21.

                          Thanks again to everyone!
