FRR 0.6.4_3 not installing on 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 (while FRR 0.6.4_2 works)

tastyeggs

I'm migrating all my servers to use FRR for dynamic routing. Half my servers I upgraded yesterday, where I was successfully able to install FRR 0.6.4_2.

Today when I try to install FRR 0.6.4_3, I'm not able to, due to package conflicts. This has effectively left me stranded, with FRR half-deployed. HELP! :)

While this gets fixed, in the interim, is there a way (perhaps via the command line), where I can install FRR 0.6.4_2?

Please help, anyone. My network is half deployed and I have no clue what to do.

Thanks.

Ah, I see a PfSense 2.4.5 has just come out and maybe that's what's going on. I'll try an OS update first.

Yep, it installs successfully on PfSense 2.4.5-RELEASE. Would be nice if the package manager indicates OS version compatibility.

I am having exactly the same issue. However don't wish to upgrade to 2.4.5 as I am having a few issues with that. Is there a command you can run to install FRR 0.6.4_2 manually ?

No. Since 2.4.5 is out, there is no way to keep the packages pointed at the old 2.4.4 repository. You have to upgrade to access any packages.
