ANSWERED/SOLVED: libssl.so.8 not found - I CAN'T UPDATE FROM 2.34p1

securityconscious

SOLUTION:

pkg-static update –f
pkg-static upgrade –f

DONE FROM TERMINAL
(MAY SEEM LIKE THERE ARE ERRORS BUT NOT SO)

THEN LATER

pkg clean -ya
pkg upgrade
pkg update -f

LOGGED IN FROM WEB BROWSER AND ALL IS GOOD!

–---

I APOLIGIZE IF I MISSED THE ANSWER ON THIS IF POSTED BY OTHER. I DID LOOK FIRST.

I always check for updates when I think of doing so. I do so regularily but not on any particular schedule. Usually do pfsense updates from terminal but do addons via browser. I keep an ear out and an eye open. Things have been great and problems few... in the past.

Tried to update today and I can't. I get the "shared object not found by pkg" message that is apparently refering to shared object libssl.so.8 which is not found and is required. Not found??

ERROR: It was not possible to identify which pfSense kernel is installed.

BTW: I run from a full install on an internal ssd-drive.

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

I had a similar error and fixed it eventually after doing a lot of reading before running the following and before rebooting:

# pfSense-upgrade

The above command seemed to just install a new kernel. After reboot I had to reinstall haproxy and that was it. With hindsight I suspect that removing installed packages (HA proxy and Squid amongst others) and then reinstalling them afterwards may allow the thing to work under these circumstances

(I have a full scrape of the update output if anyone wants it)

Mine got to this point and then the web GUI hung/broke:

Final note on the subject. Although my packages were installed, I noticed that snort and pfblockrng wasn't showing in the menus although showed otherwise. I went to the package installer and hit the reinstall icon on those missing and they showed back up in the menu.

Thanks for the posts, I did notice that on my machine I needed to install the kernel afterwards. Running the normal update from the console fixed that.
