      I havent been able to install any updates through the web interface in a while. Today i sshed to pfSense instance to troubleshoot the issue and found out that pkg tool doesnt work.

      [2.4.2-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.xxx]/var/db/pkg: pkg --help
      [2.4.2-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.xxx]/var/db/pkg: pkg-static --help
      [2.4.2-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.xxx]/var/db/pkg: pkg-static update -f 
      [2.4.2-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.xxx]/var/db/pkg: pkg
      [2.4.2-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.xxx]/var/db/pkg:
      

      My pfSense is a remote installation on an ESXi machine, accessible only through VPN and I dont have a physical access to it.
      Is there a feasible way to troubleshoot this issue further and it remotely?
