      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:
                      [1/3] Upgrading pfSense-pkg-squidGuard from 1.16.18_5 to 1.16.18_6...
                      [1/3] Extracting pfSense-pkg-squidGuard-1.16.18_6: 100%
                      Removing squidGuard components...
                      Menu items... done.
                      Services... done.
                      Loading package instructions...
                      Deinstall commands... done.

                      @_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!

                      Best Regards

                              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.

                                    Changed back to "not solved", due to the big resonance!

                                      @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 ..

                                            My solution:

                                            Stop the squid for web;
                                            From the terminal:

                                            pkg delete squidGuard

                                            for me solved.
