How to update to the latest Tailscale version?

[Wolf666]

I am receiving this trying to update:
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libutil.so.10" not found, required by "pkg"
I am on pfSense 25.07.1, it is the first time I see it, I never had issues updating manually.

@Wolf666, I have the same version as you and the same problem. Found this solution with Grok:

fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.88.3_1.pkg

IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg-static add -f tailscale-1.88.3_1.pkg

It may be possible to do it in one step,
IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg-static add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.88.3.pkg

@CarlMRoss Thanks, it worked! I cannot give you a thumb-up because I am not allowed.

@Wolf666, Thumbs up to Grok AI. It beat ChatGPT and Claude to the answer from the start.

Finally took the plunge and installed CE 2.8.1 on a spare appliance and updated to 1.88.3_2

I applied the tailscale patch. No observed issues.

Seems like only the client was updated

tailscale status
Warning: client version "1.90.1" != tailscaled server version "1.88.3"

@lbm_

Did you restart the Tailscale daemon?

DOh! That fixed it :)
