      I have the same problem

      pfSense 2.4.5_1

      I successfully upgraded to cron 0.3.7_4, snort 3.2.9.12, squid 0.4.44_26 - squidGuard upgrade from 1.16.18_5 to 1.16.18_6 only gets as far as Deinstall commands... done

      I am having the same issue.

          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.

              I started the package update, the update froze, executed a command, and the update was interrupted.. re-launched the package update, the package was updated successfully

                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.

                          Same issue here on 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 running in a VMware VM. There doesn't seem to be an easy fix, tried everything in this thread, and some additional stuff. The "killall -9 pkg-static" command (on a second shell) will just interrupt the uninstall procedure, it doesn't continue after issuing that command. I've noticed that when the procedure hangs there are two "pkg" processes which seem to be started close to each other (if not at nearly the same time), maybe that's the issue? Like some kind of race condition, triggered by a typo/special character or something like that in the package itself?

                            After comment below command in /usr/local/pkg/squidguard.inc

                            squid_reconfigure('remove redirector options');
                            

                            I can remove the old package and install new package manually.

                                @Aiken Thank you, this does the trick for me too.

                                  Thank you @Aiken! This is the only solution that has worked for me. After commenting out that line I was able to upgrade squidGuard via the WebGUI

                                    I have the same issue with 2.4.5, 2.4.5-p1 and 2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT.

                                    It always involves one or more of the following packages:
                                    pfSense-pkg-ntopng
                                    pfSense-pkg-squidGuard
                                    pfSense-pkg-squid

                                    Whereby the first two are a recent addition, Squid gave be trouble for a while, in that it would fail upgrading, so each time I had to remove and install as separate steps. Now that fails, too.

                                    Some of them can be installed on the command line, some hang even there after "Writing configuration... done."

                                      looks to be an issue on latest versions of package manager, not Squid or Squidguard or other packages related.
                                      There are also other post claiming same issue:

                                        I was having the same issue. Solved it thusly:

                                        • squidGuard re-install was already in progress
                                        • Went to Services>Squid Proxy Server (PackageProxy Server: General SettingsGeneral)
                                        • UN-checked "Enable Squid Proxy"
                                        • Save
                                        • Re-install continued and completed
                                        • Re-enable Squid.

                                        ***This was after several attempts to upgrade, uninstall, reinstall, killall... YMMV.

                                        UPDATE - 20200618: Checked the package manager and Squid showed an update. Ran the update and this time Squid encountered the same problem as squidGuard above. Applied the same solution and it worked, again.
