      Hello,
      after upgrading from 2.4.5 to actual -p1 ugrading of squidguard fails:

      Upgrading pfSense-pkg-squidGuard...
      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 UPGRADED:
      pfSense-pkg-squidGuard: 1.16.18_5 -> 1.16.18_6 [pfSense]

      Number of packages to be upgraded: 1

      Removing squidGuard components...
      Menu items... done.
      Services... done.
      Loading package instructions...
      Deinstall commands... done.

      Nothing more happens...

      So i rebooted and same as before. Stuck at Deinstall commands... Done.
      Menu-entry is removed but package listed as installed.
      At the moment im a bit lost in space...

      Got it. I removed the package via cli: pkg delete pfSense-pkg-squidGuard
      Then installing via Webif worked.
      But i think, the failing via Webif seems to be a bug maybe? Other packages updated flawlessly. Only squidguard fails.

        I am seeing the same thing with 3 packages, which I believe is all the same issue with the package manager, I see it with Cron, Squid, and squidguard, all 3 get stuck at one of 2 points, most common is "Please wait while the update system initializes" and never goes any further. Reboot and sometimes it gets to the same points yours displays but never gets further, even after letting sit for 30+ minutes. This is happening across 6 different SG-3100 and 1 custom built PC with Intel J1900 CPU.

        When trying to reinstall squid:

        Upgrading pfSense-pkg-squid...
        pkg-static: Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected. Running "pkg bootstrap -f" recommended
        Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...

        All repositories are up to date.

        The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):
        Installed packages to be UPGRADED:

        Then it stays there, never succeeds, never finishes the installation.

          It's always an bad idea to "hey.. we do quickly that update...." if your close at the end of your day in the office...

          Same issues here with Squid and SquidGuard. The fix from @_igor_ worked after a reboot and manually killing a package manager process which locked the package delete.

          Thanks for reporting!

            I have the same problem ... SquidGuard simply does not reinstall or update, as the process is not completed in any way. I've reinstalled squid and still nothing ... I don't know what to do !?

                @CaliPilot It doesn't work, I give the command but never leave that line here ==> "" Deinstall commands ... done.

                  @CaliPilot there must be a bug in version 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 of pfSense, as the following commands do not end, that is, they do not end in any way, stop at some point and do not go any further:

                  pkg-static install -fy pfSense-pkg-squid-0.4.44_26
                  pkg-static install -fy pfSense-pkg-squidGuard-1.16.18_6

                    @Cássio-Elias try from shell: pkg delete squidGuard and pkg delete squid, and wait a few minutes, that worked for me

                      Hi,

                      Hello,

                      It is not only on version 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 that the problem occurs for the squidguard update.

                      I have the same problem on version 2.4.5-RELEASE.

                      The installation remains frozen at the step "Deinstall commands ... done."

                        I also face same issue after upgrade to 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1.
                        squidGuard not included in menu and is missing in list of services.
                        Tried pkg delete pfSense-pkg-squidGuard but hangs on Deinstall commands... done
                        Waited one hour and package still not removed. What to do now ?

                            Hi all,

                            same here.
                            I'm on Version 2.4.5_1.

                            Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
                            pfSense-pkg-Cron: 0.3.7_3 -> 0.3.7_4 [pfSense]
                            pfSense-pkg-snort: 3.2.9.11 -> 3.2.9.12 [pfSense]
                            pfSense-pkg-squidGuard: 1.16.18_5 -> 1.16.18_6 [pfSense]

                            Upgrade stuck after:

                            @_igor_ Please remove "solved" flag from this post to draw attention from pfsense development/support team.
                            This seems to be some unsolved bug within post uninstall procedure.
                            Thanks!

                                    Our engineers are aware and are investigating why some users are seeing updates issues with some packages.

                                    In most cases running killall -9 pkg-static will allow the updates to continue.

                                            @goodtm Apparently, this solution solved the SquidGuard problem for me! But I can't reinstall Squid, when trying to reinstall, even with this SquidGuard procedure, reinstalling Squid does not get off the line => "Writing configuration ... done."
                                            And don't get out of that line ... weird ..
