      Hi,

      I upgraded from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5 through the GUI. That went well, no issues.
      After the upgrade, I tried to upgrade some of the packages which showed as upgrade available.
      That does not work, when I confirm, it says "Initializing ... " nothing else happens.

      I followed the instructions here :
      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/upgrade-troubleshooting.html
      I did :
      pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade
      pkg-static update -f

      With pkg-static update -f it says

      Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
        pfSense-pkg-acme: 0.6.8 -> 0.6.8_2 [pfSense]
        pfSense-pkg-arpwatch: 0.2.0_3 -> 0.2.0_4 [pfSense]
        pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-devel: 2.2.5_33 -> 2.2.5_34 [pfSense]
        pfSense-pkg-snort: 3.2.9.13 -> 3.2.9.14_1 [pfSense]
        pfSense-pkg-squid: 0.4.44_28 -> 0.4.44_30 [pfSense]

Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
(long list)
....
        socat-1.7.3.3_1 [pfSense]
        sqlite3-3.30.1 [pfSense]
        squid-4.10 [pfSense]
        squidGuard-1.4_15 [pfSense]
        squid_radius_auth-1.10 [pfSense]
.....


Number of packages to be upgraded: 6
Number of packages to be reinstalled: 274

      So I confirm to continue.
      Then it seems to hang on the re-installation/upgrade of squidguard :

      it does not continue after "Deinstall commands... done."
      (note : suricata is installed but disabled/not in use)

      I rebooted a few times, retried pkg-static update -f
      same result every time.

      Anyone who can provide some light on this or help?

      Thanks

        Look at the CLI with ps -ax | grep pkg if you have a process pkg-static already running and kill him. Then try again.

        My 2 cents,

            @lightningbit Do you have Snort AND Suricata installed?
            You could uninstall all packages and make the pfsense update and reinstall the packages after the update is done (If you set on the packages who allowed this to keep the settings you dont lose settings after uninstall)

              I had the same issue. I reverted to 2.4.4p3 and all packages downloaded and installed smoothly. Package upgrades also worked fine.

              As a check I backed up my config, did a fresh install of pfSense 2.4.5p1 and reapplied my config. Packages downloaded and installed up to and including squid; after that the package install process appeared to go no further, according to System logs. No errors reported, but no progress either.

              See https://forum.netgate.com/topic/156380/clear-package-lock-not-working-etc-rc-package_reinstall_all-still-running

                so it is not just me, there seem to be issues with the package manager in 2.4.5p1
