      Any advise, should I downgrade pkg?

Proceed with this action? [y/N]: ^C

      @jimp Just a thought; "Could it be, this happened because of the install of PIMD using the GUI (v0.1), as it was meant for 2.5 and up?

        Hmm 1.12.0 is certainly the version of pkg from 2.4.5 and 1.10.5_6 is what I expect to see in 2.4.4p3.

          @stephenw10 Thanks for your quick response and conformation, so I will downgrade and maybe come across the culprit a.s.a.p., as I am currently testing the PIMD package against the one in the pfSense package manager, as some have experienced that "they" behave different...

              Do you see that installing the pfSense package?

              You probably want the 11.2 package if you're installing directly from the FreeBSD repo in 2.4.4p3:

                  Hmm, sure looks like it pulled something from 2.4.5 at some point.
                  I have no idea what that might have been though. 😕

                      Think I found it, the pkg package gets updated when in GUI from System/Update/System update you select "Update Latest 2.4.x development version (2.4.5)" in Branch and I did not confirm it, just selected it!

                        Hmm, seems similar to this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9873 Though not as bad....

                        Might need to open bug report for that.

                          @Qinn said in Shared object "libarchive.so.7" not found, required by "pkg":

                          Why would you do that? It's completely unnecessary for the pimd GUI package and probably the source of your issues. You do not need to have any third party repos enabled. It's a proper pfSense package.

                            "First of all, try pkg bootstrap -f (or pkg install -f pkg).
If it fails then try pkg-static bootstrap -f (or pkg-static install -f pkg) as it doesn't require any shared objects.
If everything else doesn't work then you can install pkg from ports:

cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
make
make reinstall clean
You should be able to use pkg now."

                            I get the same error warning while trying to install virtualbox-ose-additions with "pkg install virtualbox-ose-additions" command in pfSense 2.4.5-Release.

                            I have fixed it with "pkg bootstrap -f" command. pkg version is 1.12.0 now from pfSense repository.

                                  @ruddimaster wow, I have the same issue as well all of a sudden out of nowhere.
                                  I did not do the update to 2.5.

                                    Yes see that document, specifically this:
                                    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#upgrade-not-offered-library-errors

                                    It's almost always caused by running some package operation when the update repo it set to a different branch than the code that running.
                                    Since 2.5 was released that became the current branch and to remain on 2.4.5 you need to set the update repo to that.

                                      @stephenw10 ok, I flipped it back to 2.4.5 but pkg still gives me that error?

                                        Did you run the force reinstall line show there after doing that?

                                        That should force it to pull in the correct pkg versions for your install.

                                        Re-installing clean is always an option though. Make sure you have a config backup.

                                            First restore the repository file:

                                            /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos: cp pfSense-repo-245.conf pfSense-repo.conf

                                            Second step is to re-install pkg

                                            pkg bootstrap -f

                                            Third clean-up and update

                                            pkg clean all && pkg update

                                            if not error try

                                            pkg search vim # and then install whatever
