      Hi
      I've made an update from pfsense 2.3.1_5 to 2.3.2 and after this update I see a menupoint called "NRPEv2" but when I click on this point I get the message "No valid package defined". Also I see an service "nrpe2" but is stopped and is not startable.
      When I look into the Installed Packages, I don't see NRPE. When I will install NRPE I get following Message:

      Installing pfSense-pkg-nrpe…
      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
      pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
      Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
      pfSense repository is up-to-date.
      All repositories are up-to-date.
      Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
      The following 2 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

      New packages to be INSTALLED:
      pfSense-pkg-nrpe: 2.3.1_1 [pfSense]
      nrpe-ssl: 2.15_6 [pfSense]

      Number of packages to be installed: 2
      [1/2] Installing nrpe-ssl-2.15_6…
      ===> Creating groups.
      Using existing group 'nagios'.
      ===> Creating users
      Using existing user 'nagios'.
      install: not found
      pkg: PRE-INSTALL script failed
      Failed

      I've made a backup from the configuration, make a new installation from pfsense and restore the configuration -> same result.

      What can I do?

      Thanks for your help!

        I've found a solution. It's a bug reportet by https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6643
        Only execute the following line and the installation works:
        tar xv -C / -f /usr/local/share/pfSense/base.txz ./usr/bin/install

        Thanks.
