2.4.5R1 Update no package re-install
-
I just had this issue and I set the option for the firewall to use IPv4 even if IPv6 was available and it seemed to make it work but it could be a fluke.

For reference to others looking for a cause, my config is IPv4 only. I have IPv6 turned off / blocked in multiple locations. -
For all those having the same problem here is what I did to get the pkgs to install...
I did this from command line but I assume it can be done via the web gui as well.For me in command line I did...
killall pkg-static pkg-static upgrade -fWhen and if the pkg hangs go into the web gui and go to Status --> Services and stop the packages that you are hung on. You may need to stop the pkg multiple times because it seems the pkg automatically restarts quite quickly.
Be sure to give each package a minute or two before stopping it. I saw a couple packages take a minute or so before continuing.Oh! and if you get the famous lock error I had to reboot to get the lock to release, no killing of any kind managed to get the lock to let loose.
And many thanks to @al @revengineer for helping me with this problem!!!

This is essentially the workaround that @jimp proposed here a few days ago. I am glad you got it to work.
