      Same issue here. Packagemanager has troubles on 2.4.5-p1.
      I've upgraded my pfsense boxes to 2.4.5p1 and now i can not remove or add packages.
      If i restore my config on an fresh installed 2.4.5p1 - pfsense reboots and hung on
      "Packages are currently being reinstalled in the background."
      "Do not make changes in the GUI until this is complete."

        After edit manually the config.xml file, and add the suricata entries, this fixed the problem. E2guardian, however, still remains with problems, because isn't possible to install the package. I've made a clean and fresh install of pfsense, and restored the backup, but, with no success.

              I had the same issues. The cause seems to be the update process is waiting for input that is not expected.

              If i update via the command line and the updates hangs, i just press enter. The it continues.

                    @tmsongster UPDATE 20200828: Similar issue today - squidGuard update stalled, would not complete.

                    • Attempted squidGuard update from Package Manager, would not complete
                    • Broke the law and went back to Package Manager > Installed Packages which showed squidGuard update failed
                    • Then to Services / Package / Proxy Server: General Settings / General
                    • Unchecked "Check to enable the Squid proxy."
                    • Went back and updated squidGuard in Package Manager (success!)
                    • Re-enabled Squid proxy (Checked "Check to enable the Squid proxy.")
                    • At this point for me, the squidGuard service was stopped. Restarting from Dashboard failed
                    • Restarted squidGuard:
                      1. Services / Package / Proxy filter SquidGuard: General settings / General settings
                      2. Checked "Enable: Check this option to enable squidGuard. (Read the text about "target categories")
                      3. "Apply"
                      4. "Save" (at bottom)

                    Peace and harmony. Similar steps as 16 Jun 2020, but had to jumpstart squidGuard at the end.

                        I had the same problem. Turned off ClamAV in Squid and problem solved.
