      That's because you installed a 2.4.4 package on 2.4.3-p1. You need to upgrade to 2.4.4 first. Start a new thread to discuss that, it isn't related to this problem.

        That is strange, I thought, this was no more possible (https://forum.netgate.com/topic/136355/shared-object-libdl-so-1-not-found-required-by-openvpn/28).

        BTW, I can not find the diff or the commit between 1.0.2/1.0.3/1.0.4 version, I have just found this https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commits/devel but is there any other repo to see what was done?

        Thanks.

          Some people still manage to do it somehow. We've done all we can on the server side, though. Firewalls should be picking up the new pfSense-upgrade change when it does an update check. That's still not related to this topic, though, so it belongs in another thread.

          But your original problem is unlikely related to just this package. See my posts above, https://forum.netgate.com/post/799954 and then a patch for you to try at https://forum.netgate.com/post/799957

            @jimp I reinstalled the zabbix-agent 34, and still got the same problem. I guess all zabbix-agents were updated to 2.4.4! I guess I'll just wait until I update to 2.4.4

              @ashes00 See my precedent post, if you can get the old version of the pkg, you could reinstall it by CLI.

                OK, I was able to reproduce your original issue on a fresh 2.4.4 VM with some config editing. It had nothing to do with zabbix, but that was the first package you tried to install.

                The patch I posted a few replies up was the fix.

                  $config['installedpackages'] = array();
                  write_config('Add installedpackages container');

                  No other packages installed. Nothing has been done to remove packages to my knowledge.

                  I tried to run the command, seemed to execute ok.
                  Then tried installing Zabbix 3.2, but with an issue:

                  Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc:790
                  Stack trace:

                  thrownpkg-static: POST-INSTALL script failed

                  Cleaning up cache... done.

                  Might be an idea to try the patch instead?
                  How should I install the patch?

                  Thanks.

                    Install the System Patches package and make a new entry for b77f0bf1311b617793dc40ea779512eb24805727 and then fetch/apply.

                    After that you should be able to install packages.

                      Thanks, but kind of biting my own tail here:

                      Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc:790

                      Cleaning up cache... done.

                      Any alternatives to get the patch installed?

                        Ah, yeah, catch-22 there. Duh. Clearly my coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

                        Try this from an ssh shell or the Diagnostics > Command page in the shell exec box:

                        curl https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/b77f0bf1311b617793dc40ea779512eb24805727.diff | patch --directory=/ -p2 --ignore-whitespace

                          Yes, that worked :-) Zabbix 3.2 installed! Thanks!

                          Will this also work on 2.4.3?

                            It's not necessary on 2.4.3, the bug that patch is fixing is only on 2.4.4.

                              Hm, ok. I have an issue that is related to PHP major versions - I am not allowed to install Zabbix on 2.4.3 as it raises some kind of "PHP Major version" issue. Says I need to upgrade first?

                                Yes, that's not related to this. As the message says, you need to upgrade to 2.4.4 before you can install or upgrade packages.

                                  Ok, so package install doesn't work on 2.4.3? Or is it just related to some specific packages?

                                    As has been covered in numerous threads all over the forum, you can't install new packages on 2.4.3 because it will break the system as it's trying to pull things in from the 2.4.4 upgrade repo.
