      Update 5 for pfSense 2.3.1 was a waste of time and effort,
      this update gave problems on almost every firewall device i worked on.
      A clean install with the new version 2.3.2 fixed all those rare problems like :
      No packages available after upgrade
      2u time for updating from 2.3.1 to 2.3.1.5
      PHP errors during bootup
      pfSense installation corruption on reboot
      etc….
      Update 5 should never be released, and they had to stick by 2.3.1 till the next stable version 2.3.2 was ready.
      From now on, on Watchguard Firewalls i install only the stable releases and not the crappy updates in between.
