Squid install failed post-upgrade

[EOC2611P]

Just an heads up, the Squid package seems to have been badly compiled  for this last version of PFSense, if you want it to work, stay on older versions where was installing without problems….
:(

It's not broken. You apparently have some remnants of the old package pre-upgrade around, though the post-upgrade should automatically clean all that up. Run this:

find / -type l -lname '/usr/pbi/*' -delete

then reinstall, does that work?

[EOC2611P]

Thanks for trying but it did not work.
If this last release of PFSense it's not broken, then it must to be the Squid to no longer be compatible with PFSense.
I executed the command line you posted, then it was looking as it was accepted because after a few seconds PFSense showed the same line in a green colour on top of the command line, so i reinstalled as suggested but i keep having exactly the same problem, it could NOT rename the chinese's folder….
Anything else i could try before going back to PFSense 2.0.2???

@cmb:

does that work?

No

The package is fine, you have leftovers from an older install laying around like cmb said.

Try this:

1. Remove the package if any parts of it are left (including lightsquid and squidguard)

rm -rf /usr/local/etc/squid/

3. Reinstall the package

Yesss that did the trick, thank you so much mate, that was a huge relieve!  :D

I got this thing after it, i am not sure if i should be bothered by it or not, for the time being i will just disregard it and try to configure the thing in a way that suit my needs, cheerio!

I can't seem to install Squid 0.4.21 either.  :-(  I shouldn't have to do anything with the package dependencies listed should I?

Hi Tac57, have you tried the suggested  strings on the command line?
I was having the same problem, but after i applied that command it installed as it should

[TAC57]

Tried 'em all, no luck.  :-(

@TAC57:

pkg: cannot rename //usr/local/etc/squid/errors/zh-cn.7rXRkYSRxZAI to //usr/local/etc/squid/errors/zh-cn: Is a directory

That error was already covered previously in the thread, you need to clean up some leftovers from an old installation:

rm -rf /usr/local/etc/squid/

[TAC57]

jimp thanks for inspiring me to try again.  I swear I typed that command previously and it didn't work.  :P

This time everything worked perfectly!  :) I just successfully reinstalled squid 0.4.21.

Thanks again to everyone!
