squidGuard not upgrading

[hollister]

Just upgraded squid to 0.4.44_29, it did not confirm a successful upgrade as I am used to but after a reboot it showed the new version in the package manager.

then I tried to upgrade squidGuard again
pkg=pfSense-pkg-squidGuard&from=1.16.18_5&to=1.16.18_6
with no success.

Running on 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
HW: pcengines

Any help would be great.

Try stopping any running squidGuard instance that might be running. A running process seems to cause issues with the installation by locking certain files.

Stop squidGuard and then get to a shell prompt on the console and verify no squidGuard processes are running. If you see any, kill them. Then try installing the package again.

As of today, I upgraded to squid 0.4.44_30
I stopped the services

then I tried again to install pfSense-pkg-squidGuard 1.16.18_6
I thought I noticed before a Success or something, in either case when going back to the Package Manager
it does not show upgraded.

How do you verify on prompt that no squidGuard processes are running?
I did try: killall -9 pkg-static

This command should show any running squid or squidGuard processes:

ps -ax | grep squid

Look at the output of that command and note the Process ID <pid> of any running squid or squidGuard processes and kill them using this command:

kill -9 <pid>

Replace <pid> in the above command with the numerical Process ID you see displayed for any running processes with the first command.

[hollister]

with ps -ax | grep squid

28301 - S 0:00.38 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
28482 - I 0:00.14 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
28523 - I 0:00.13 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
28634 - I 0:00.13 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
45685 - Is 0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/squid -f /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.c
46066 - S 0:29.10 (squid-1) --kid squid-1 -f /usr/local/etc/squid/squid

Does that look normal?
since I am not able to upgrade squidguard I could kill the top 4 processes.

Everytime I kill one it creates more processes, as you can see I killed the first 2

28523 - S 0:00.13 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
28634 - I 0:00.13 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
46931 - S 0:00.12 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
47021 - S 0:00.12 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
47155 - S 0:00.12 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
47483 - S 0:00.12 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
87871 - I 0:00.13 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
88100 - I 0:00.13 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
88325 - I 0:00.13 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.
88342 - I 0:00.13 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.

Through the UI pfsense I stopped the following services:
c-icap
squid

sometimes squid stops and sometimes it does not.
I also tried
killall -9 squidGuard
kill -9 pgrep squidGuard

no success

I was able to upgrade, how?
Uninstalled squidGuard about 4 times
reboot
Uninstalled again
then installed the new version
reinstalled squid (Since it was not green the last time I installed)
rebooted
seems to work

thanks for your help

Man, it sounds like Squid or squidGuard was some kind of unkillable zombie from the Apocalypse....

There was probably a parent process in that list, and all the rest were children of that parent. Killing a child process likely resulted in the parent immediately relaunching it.

Glad you got it sorted out.
