the package manager is broken in 2.4.2 , 2.4.2_1 and 2.4.3

Irrelevant to know, he's using 2.3.4 on an ALIX board which cannot run 64-bit software at all.

Here is the fixed

login into pfsense using ssh, when the console loads choose option 8
the shell command and enter this text  pkg upgrade pkg

click enter after it finishes

choose option 13 from the same console after that you can install any package that you wish.
the package manager is broken in 2.4.2 , 2.4.2_1 and 2.4.3
