pkg: Insufficient privileges

linuxlover2

I tried installing acme pkg and it broke my webGUI with PHP ERROR: Type: 64, File: /etc/inc/config.inc, error.
It was suggested to on reddit to issue pkg install -fy pear-Net_IPv6
But I get on the cli pkg: Insufficient privileges as response.
I only have one account and I thought it was an admin account, but seem to miss wheel group uid=2000(linuxlover) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody),1999(admins)

What can I do to fix this, I have no access to the GUI to add another account?!

Thank you, ll2.

So take it you didn't update you pfsense to 2.4.4 and just installed package..

@johnpoz How do I check the version from the CLI?
I had checked last week and it was up-to-date (from the dashboard)

And your not running 2.4.4 I take it?

The console menu will show you right at top what version your running, and even at your ssh prompt

*** Welcome to pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE (amd64) on sg4860 ***

[2.4.4-RELEASE][root@sg4860.local.lan]/root

I'm getting tired [2.4.3-RELEASE]
So yes I was not on the latest release it seems.
Odd that a pkg install will not notify if it's a prerequisite.
I'm spoiled with better pkg mgmt...

But to get to the point, what's up with my account?
I had full access on the GUI, so I'm surprised I don't have full privilege on the CLI?

Any suggestions?

Log in as root/admin or install the sudo package and use sudo from those other accounts (like linuxlover) to obtain root.

Other added accounts are not automatically root in the shell.
