      Hello All,

      Thank you for the work on this.

      After installing the new version, I no longer see it listed in the services menu (neither NUT nor UPS).  I tried the install on two different pfSense FW's running 2.3.2 (pfsense amd64 and nanobsd) and right now it doesn't work on either box.

      When I do a full reinstall it says this:

      Upgrading pfSense-pkg-nut…
      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
      pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
      Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
      pfSense repository is up-to-date.
      All repositories are up-to-date.
      Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
      The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

      Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
      pfSense-pkg-nut-2.7.4_1 [pfSense]

      Number of packages to be reinstalled: 1
      [1/1] Reinstalling pfSense-pkg-nut-2.7.4_1…
      [1/1] Extracting pfSense-pkg-nut-2.7.4_1: …....... done
      The nut package is not installed.

      Deletion aborted.XML error: PKGINFOLINK at line 8 cannot occur more than once

      Cleaning up cache... done.
      Success

      I tried a full uninstall and reinstall but the service is nowhere to be found.  It shows that the package is installed, I just can't do anything besides that.  Any ideas?

      Thanks,

        I am also seeing this error on factory, but not on beta. I don't have a community version at the moment to check on. Which version are you running? Community, factory, or beta?

          If it helps, I tried to update from beta and see the same error on community.
          Removed the package manually and still has the same error on install.

              Sorry about the problems. I'm not sure if it's something I need to change, or not. I've sent a note to one of the guys who manages the packages to ask.

              In the interim, you should be able to reinstall the beta package via the command line as you did during the beta.

                  It's been tracked down to a specific problem with a branch of the repo. I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

                  Thank you for your patience.

                        You can fix it right now by installing beta 6 back manually or change your firmware branch to development, re-install package (you can do it from GUI, even if package itself is broken) and then change branch to stable.
                        Or just wait for a fix in repo.

                                I tried this today. I switched to the development branch in Updates, reinstalled the NUT package. Although the installation completed successfully, NUT would not start and there was no GUI menu for NUT either.
                                Configured my system back to stable branch, reinstalled NUT with the error and left it like that until a fix arrives.

                                    Hi Denny,

                                    Just want to say thank you for the great work, I'm still on beta 3, it was working fine and I wanted to wait until the release had had feedback.

                                    My set up here has had a power cut and everything worked perfectly both with the master and all of the slaves. Huge weight off my mind and key component in me being able to recommend pfsense to people.

                                    Anything to bear in mind now upgrading from b3 to the latest version?

                                    Thanks again.

                                    John

                                      John,

                                      Should be no problem moving from beta 3 to the release version.

                                      Denny

                                        I had no issues on my site uninstalling the latest beta and installing the prod version.

                                        Thanks for the opportunity to help beta test this package.
