      I now have a working pFsense system.

      However, I am unable to install packages from the GUI. If I bring up 'Available Packages' and click 'Install' I am thrown back to the 'Installed Packages'.

      So I resorted to command line. I Successfully installed specific packages without a problem.

      However, the installed packages do not show in the GUI in 'Installed Packages' and they also do not appear in the pfsense menu??

      For example I installed pFBlocker. pFBlocker is not showing as an installed package and there is not GUI Option to configure pfBlocker?

      Anyone come across this issue before please that could offer advice or help?

      thanks

        Try running these from a console and make sure you are on 2.4.5-p1:

        pkg-static -vv
        pkg-static update -f
        pkg-static upgrade -n

        Cats bury it so they can't see it!
        (You know what I mean if you have a cat)
