Reinstall pfB deps
-
I recently "repaired" a pfSense box that I broke by trying to use the Watchdog package at the same time as pfB. However whilst I was thrashing around messing with things until I found the root problem I have broken several of the packages that pfB needs. I think that I need to reinstall pfB's dependencies - mentioned under its package listing such as GeoIP etc. For example the GeoIP page in the pfB section gives me a "No valid package defined." error.
I only speak BSD with a really strong Linux accent at the moment and would be grateful if someone could tell me how to force say "GeoIP-1.6.9" to reinstall on pfSense 2.3.3p1. I'm loath to start messing with pkg (?) without a bit of guidance at this stage.
Cheers

Don't try messing around with it, just re-install the package from the pfSense Pkg manager GUI…

Try to run this command from the shell:
php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.php dcIts not the dependencies that are missing, it looks like MaxMind didn't download and create the dynamic Continent XML pages …
@Jon:
For example the GeoIP page in the pfB section gives me a "No valid package defined." error.

Thanks for that hint. I now have a bit more back - the DNSBL country lists.
However the rules are still missing. I was quite thorough in breaking things in my rubbish attempts to fix this system 8)

Which rules are you referring to?
