pfBlockerNG-devel install - PHP Startup Errors - failed to load readline.so
-
In prep for the pfsense 2.4.5 update, I took everyone's advise and uninstalled pfBlockerNG & installed pfBlockerNG-devel.
During the pfBlockerNG-devel package install while still (currently) on 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3, there are now some issues with readline.so... and the error seems important enough that it appears there is a crash log and an alert in the dashboard header:
"pfSense has detected a crash report or programming bug. Click here for more information."

2.4.5 is new to me too, check if everything work as it should
report back if you have any other crash report -
@kiokoman not on 2.4.5 yet. this was just uninstalling pfblockerng and installing pfblockerng-devel from the webGUI on 2.4.4r3.
Given the errors and now manual pkg adds, want to make sure I didn’t break anything before doing the 2.4.5 upgrade.
-
ah,right,
i think the best way to upgrade is remove any additional package and when you upgrade to 2.4.5 they will be reinstalled automatically
https://www.netgate.com/blog/pfsense-2-4-5-release-now-available.html
there is a note that say:
Do not update packages before upgrading pfSense! Either remove all packages or do not update packages before running the upgrade. -
@kiokoman BTW, with just the devel pkg change, memory consumption has jumped from 19% to 34%
-
it does't surprise me, pfblockerng is outdated , pfblockerng-devel have more features
-
I found the solution:
- downlaad freebsd 11.2 lib package with missing files
- winscp to pfsense and copy the missing files each time it ask.. mine needed only 2 files
- restart pfsense and start doing your upgrades :D
