Squidguard update fails after upgrading pfSense 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1
-
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 worked for me, thanks alot

@Aiken said in Squidguard update fails after upgrading pfSense 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1:
/usr/local/pkg/squidguard.inc
@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-squidWhereby 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:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/154389/2-4-5r1-update-no-package-re-install -
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.

@tmsongster This worked for me. Thank you.
-
@tmsongster thanks for your solution it also worked for me too !
-
@tmsongster Thanks it worked for me too.
- Installed Squid (Still "Writing Configuration"...)
- Kill install
- Disable Squid service
- Reinstall Squid => OK
- Install SquiGuard => OK
- Enable Squid service
-
Manually stopping the services before updating seemed to have work with both Squid and pfBlocker. Updates worked as expected then, but then have to manually start services again as well. Odd bug.
-
I have the same problem...
Last weekend i had to restore the whole machine from backup in order to get it working.
So, should i wait for a p2 release which will correct this or should i try again with stopping the services before upgrade? Is this workaround confirmed?
Thank you. -
Hi,
Seems to be not only squidguard.On my Box i had the same problems with squid and also with upgrading frr.
I could get frr installing by killing the running frr daemon, but squid 'wanted' a "killall -9 pkg-static" or it was still stuck...
Cheers

@pamidou Solved my problem Thanks Bro!
-
Screwed my update completely also.
- killall pkg
- pkg remove the squidpackage
- pkg remove the squidguardpackage
- run the upgrade
- reboot
Done.
Will not run squid on my pfsense again. Lesson learned.
-
@tmsongster Thanks!!! Disabling Squid allowed the upgrade.
-
@tmsongster Worked for me too !! Thanks
-
Thanks for this. This was the only issue I had upgrading my MBT-4220.
