          Hi all,

          same here.
          I'm on Version 2.4.5_1.

          Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
          pfSense-pkg-Cron: 0.3.7_3 -> 0.3.7_4 [pfSense]
          pfSense-pkg-snort: 3.2.9.11 -> 3.2.9.12 [pfSense]
          pfSense-pkg-squidGuard: 1.16.18_5 -> 1.16.18_6 [pfSense]

          Upgrade stuck after:
          [1/3] Upgrading pfSense-pkg-squidGuard from 1.16.18_5 to 1.16.18_6...
          [1/3] Extracting pfSense-pkg-squidGuard-1.16.18_6: 100%

          Menu items... done.
          Services... done.
          Loading package instructions...

          @_igor_ Please remove "solved" flag from this post to draw attention from pfsense development/support team.
          This seems to be some unsolved bug within post uninstall procedure.
          Thanks!

          Best Regards

                  Our engineers are aware and are investigating why some users are seeing updates issues with some packages.

                  In most cases running killall -9 pkg-static will allow the updates to continue.

                      I started the package update, the update froze, executed a command, and the update was interrupted.. re-launched the package update, the package was updated successfully

                          @goodtm Apparently, this solution solved the SquidGuard problem for me! But I can't reinstall Squid, when trying to reinstall, even with this SquidGuard procedure, reinstalling Squid does not get off the line => "Writing configuration ... done."
                          And don't get out of that line ... weird ..

                                My solution:

                                Stop the squid for web;
                                From the terminal:

                                pkg delete squidGuard

                                for me solved.

                                  Same issue here on 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 running in a VMware VM. There doesn't seem to be an easy fix, tried everything in this thread, and some additional stuff. The "killall -9 pkg-static" command (on a second shell) will just interrupt the uninstall procedure, it doesn't continue after issuing that command. I've noticed that when the procedure hangs there are two "pkg" processes which seem to be started close to each other (if not at nearly the same time), maybe that's the issue? Like some kind of race condition, triggered by a typo/special character or something like that in the package itself?

                                    After comment below command in /usr/local/pkg/squidguard.inc

                                    squid_reconfigure('remove redirector options');

                                    I can remove the old package and install new package manually.

                                          Thank you @Aiken! This is the only solution that has worked for me. After commenting out that line I was able to upgrade squidGuard via the WebGUI

                                            I have the same issue with 2.4.5, 2.4.5-p1 and 2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT.

                                            It always involves one or more of the following packages:
                                            pfSense-pkg-ntopng
                                            pfSense-pkg-squidGuard
                                            pfSense-pkg-squid

                                            Whereby the first two are a recent addition, Squid gave be trouble for a while, in that it would fail upgrading, so each time I had to remove and install as separate steps. Now that fails, too.

                                            Some of them can be installed on the command line, some hang even there after "Writing configuration... done."
