        You likely have a pkg dependency problem. Either due to loading a package from a non-Netgate repository or mismatched packages from different versions (for example, if you are on 2.6.0 but have the update branch set for 2.7.0 snapshots). It can't make changes to the packages because in doing so it wants to remove a package upon which the base install of pfSense depends.

        You'll need to remove any packages that came from repositories other than the pfSense 2.6.0 repository.
