      I'm running 2.5.0 and trying to install acme. When I do this from the GUI it gets not further than "Please wait while the update system initializes".

      When I do this at the shell I get:

      pfSense shell: playback installpkg acme
      
      Playback of file installpkg started.
      
      Installing package "acme"... Failed.
      

      System Logs show:

      Mar 20 23:03:00	php	71736	pfSsh.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/pfSense-upgrade -y -i pfSense-pkg-acmepfSense' returned exit code '1', the output was 'WARNING: Current pkg repository has a new PHP major version. pfSense should be upgraded before installing any new package.'
      

      I've tried disabling ipv6 and changing the update settings from development to stable and back to development, but it still fails everytime. I've also rebooted a number of times.

      I'm stuck, is there anything else I can try?

          That second log error suggests you're not actually fully on 2.5.0.

          Did you install it fresh? Or upgrade? Does it still show updates pending if you run pfSense-upgrade -d from the shell by hand?

            @jimp said in All Packages fail to install on 2.5.0:

            pfSense-upgrade -d

            Thanks. I tried that, but it only had the nightly update.

            My issue was I was trying to install from command line by using the option 12) PHP Shell + pfSense tools and command playblack installpkg acme

            On 2.5.0 development build you have to do it via shell and the command pkg install pfsense-pkg-acme

            I now have it installed. Thanks for your help.
