V2.4.4 - The firewall has enountered an error

[arch113]

I have the following packages installed:
Lightsquid 3.0.6_4
openvpn-client-export 1.4.17_2
pfBlockerNG 2.1.4_13
squid 0.4.44_5
squidGuard 1.16.17_3
suricata 4.0.13_8

Every time I log into my firewall via webadmin, I get this:
pfSense has detected a crash report or programming bug

See attached crashbug.txt

Also, everytime I update a package or reinstall I get the following (next time I go to Installed Paclages, it shows the current version number, assuming the packages upgraded):

---

Should I do a clean re-install and restore from backup?0_1538493208572_crashbug.txt

Looks like there is a potential mismatch in PHP causing those errors. Only way I know of for that to happen at the moment is (a) a problem with hard links in pfBlockerNG which should be fixed on current versions of the package or (b) the update to 2.4.4 did not completely finish.

First, remove pfBlockerNG, then from a shell prompt, run pfSense-upgrade -d and see if it finds anything missing. If it offers any updates, accept them and allow it to continue. If not, then clear the crash report, reboot without pfBlockerNG, and see if the errors return.

The hard link for PHP is only in pfBlockerNG-devel, not pfBlockerNG.

pfSense-upgrade -d

Removed pfBlockerNG, rebooted, ran pfSense-upgrade -d with no errors. And no dashboard errors. Re-installed pfBlockerNg and everything seems to be working now, Thanks.
