Snort is failing to install the VRT rules. It is requesting file snortrules-snapshot-2980.tar.gz.md5 while there is no ". . . 2980 . . .", it's . . . 2982 . . .

where is this URL set? The Oinkcode worked just fine elsewhere, it looks to be the request is the issue.

Thanks in advance

Same  here.  Have only had pfSense installed for a few weeks in a VM as a test and noticed this today:

Same for me !
:(
snort 3.2.9.1_13 / snort-2.9.8.0_1

This will be fixed soon.  An updated package pull request has been posted and is waiting to be merged into the RELEASE pfSense package repository.  The updated package is already in the DEVEL tree.

The July 4 holiday weekend here in the United States has slowed things down a little bit.  It was ultimately my mistake for letting the EOL date of the Snort VRT rules sneak up on me.  I was not timely in getting the 2.9.8.3 update for the Snort binary out there.  The rules for the 2.9.8.0 version that is currently in pfSense RELEASE went EOL on July 1.
