Can't update packages on 2.4.5

dsvictoriano

Good day everyone,

I've recently updated my pfsense box to 2.4.5 But when trying to update squid and traffic totals, I get stuck on "Please wait while the update system initializes"

I also tried uninstalling squid and it's the same thing. Is there any work around for this?

Thanks in advance.

Same problem too.
And lightsquid_web & snort modules can't start

Run through the "CLI Troubleshooting" section of https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/upgrade-troubleshooting.html and anything else that looks relevant. Packages and updates use the same backend mechanism so the same troubleshooting steps apply.

But in Web GUI updates are available:

This version is buggy, i even cant reboot pfsense via GUI. Is there any ways to back to 2.4.4 release with saving all settings? Or just fresh install and recovery from xml config file ?

XML file.... clean 2.4.4p3 install and restore and reboot. Then install the packages needed from scratch. Had me going this way.

Only way I could keep it flying.

Lol, after few system reboots pfsense has started normally work with all modules. Packages installs normally too.

Your using snort and squid at the same time ? I thought they were mutual exclusive.
Users using snort OR squid have issues lately. The forum has boatloads of useful information about it

All worked perfect 1.5 year, i had no problems with it.

To be sure : look up all the 'snort' and 'squid' posts from the last 2 weeks or so.
You'll find a way to put things back in track.
