      @dotdash it seems, that it's not only "my problem" lot of people will have it, despite of the fact are they running on custom/pre-built hardware from Netgate...

      I was on latest version until today - when I did upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.5.2 please do something with those issues, sounds like not all Unit Tests were executed I guess...

        This is an update. It appears all went well. All of the services have started in a timely fashion and traffic is flowing normally.

        If you look at the reddit post for v2.5.2 listed below, it states as follows:

        "Due to the significant nature of the changes in this upgrade, warnings and error messages are likely to occur while the upgrade is in process. In particular, errors from PHP and package updates may be observed on the console and in logs. In nearly all cases these errors are a harmless side effect of the inconsistent state of the system during the upgrade from changes in the operating system, libraries, and PHP versions. Once the upgrade completes, the system will be in a consistent state again. Only errors which persist after the upgrade are significant."

            @dougs Hey, I think that you still don't understand, I had a clean install from 2.5.1 to 2.5.2 and today after update was finalized (everything was fine in logs during install etc.) and issue ocurred after update so, please reconsider this as something "important" really, I'm also a community member trying to help you but with such approach "mark as not-a-bug" as Jim did today, it's unfair.

              @jnz07 Does this problem persist after a reboot? You might try installing 2.5.2 fresh and then restoring your config.xml file and see if the problem follows you.

                If these errors persist after the upgrade (clear them, reboot, see if they happen again), that's the only time to worry.

                If they do persist, then something must have interrupted the upgrade or there is some other more subtle failure such as a corrupt filesystem or disk issue.

                While you could chase things down one by one (e.g. reboot and run fsck, pkg upgrade -f icu-69.1,1 php74-intl-7.4.20, etc.) there is no telling what other issues may be lingering. Reinstalling is your safest bet, perhaps with a disk diagnostics run in between.

                  Hmm, I can't replicate this on anything I updated to 2.5.2.

                  It happens when you just go to the page? Before you try to resole anything?

                    After clean install (and my "angry wife") problems magically disappeared. Anyway - that's not the way it should work - it's my first serious issue after lot of updates of pfSense in the past.

                      Do you still have the upgrade log? It looks like the upgrade failed for some reason. I still can't replicate that on anything that I've upgraded.

                      Also I assume if it angered your wife there was more than just the DNS lookup in the GUI not working? ๐Ÿ˜‰

                        I'm having the same issue. After clearing & reboot, the problem persists:

                            You should look at /conf/upgrade_log.latest.txt which should show the actual upgrade.

                            You should just install that pkg if for some reason it's missing:

                            pkg install icu
                            

                            If it failed to upgrade though you have specified the full pkg version so it may not see that. Try:

                            pkg upgrade -f icu

                              icu is definitely installed but the only available version is 68.2,1 -- but php wants version 69.*

                                Your "/conf/upgrade_log.latest.txt" contains just that line ?

                                My "/conf/upgrade_log.latest.txt" contains the entire "2.5.2" upgrade process, 1111 lines.

                                It shows :

                                ....
                                        icu: 68.2,1 -> 69.1,1 [pfSense]
                                ....
                                

                                My icu has version 69.1.1 on my "2.5.2" :

                                pkg search icu
                                icu-69.1,1                     International Components for Unicode (from IBM)
                                

                                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                                  Yeah if you're not seeing that it's looking at the wrong package branch I would suggest.

                                  Also upgrade_log.txt is not upgrade_log.latest.txt which should show the actual upgrade.

                                    I don't have upgrade_log.latest.txt, only upgrade_log.txt -- and that's all it has in it.

                                      Hmm, looks like the upgrade never completed then maybe?

                                      I would re-install clean and restore the config if you can. It's hard to say what state that system is in. 2.5.2 should have icu-69. Did you try force upgrading the package like I showed above?

                                        If someone still has one in this state, show the output of the following commands:

                                        1. pkg version -vL=
                                        2. pkg info -q
                                        3. pkg check -s |& egrep -v '(Checking all|local/man|share/doc|\.dtd$|\.sample2*$|\.m4$)'

                                        That last command may still show some other expecting items depending on packages you have installed.

                                          I ran into this on a machine that is running the Unifi wifi controller. Reinstalling the Unifi controller pulled in the newer version of ICU. The Unifi installer for pfSense, while fantastically useful, is a bit of a dirty hack, and it has caused me grief on upgrades before.

                                            It wouldn't surprise me if others in similar situations had similar causes (meaning packages from alternate repositories). If a package from some other source clobbered the "correct" version of icu/intl/whatever then it could be left in a broken state on upgrade.

                                            Not much we can do about that, though, since that's all up to the end user to manage.

                                            Still need more information from others before we can say for sure what might have led to that situation.
