      You have to use pkg-static if you are already using a newer version of pkg. But in 2.7 you should be running 1.19.1_2 unless you had the dev branch set at some point.

          If you have a newer version of pkg installed than the base you have to use pkg-static instead of pkg.

          So for example:

          [2.7.0-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: pkg-static info -x pkg
          pfSense-pkg-Shellcmd-1.0.5_3
          pfSense-pkg-Status_Traffic_Totals-2.3.2_3
          pfSense-pkg-System_Patches-2.2.4
          pfSense-pkg-iperf-3.0.3
          pfSense-pkg-nmap-1.4.4_7
          pfSense-pkg-openvpn-client-export-1.9
          pkg-1.19.1_2
          

          But as you can see there you should have pkg version 1.19.1_2 in 2.7. Why are you trying to install 1.20.6? What version do you have now?

              Where are you installing that from? That's not the CE pkg repo so it;s pulling in some unknown version of pkg.

                    Where are you installing that from?

                    What version of pkg do you have now?

                    If you have installed a new version of pkg that the running base/kernel you must use pkg-static instead of pkg. So:

                    pkg-static update
                    

                    However if you have changed the update repo to point at something else then it could have pulled in other packages. pfSense has a number of custom pkgs that are required for correct running.

                          That isn't where you're installing from. Neither wazuh-agent nor pkg-1.20.6 are in that repo.

                          Also if you have pkg-1.19.1_2 installed you would not need to run pkg-static:

                          [2.7.0-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: pkg search wazuh-agent
                          [2.7.0-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root:
                          

                          What repo do you see in?: pkg-static -d update
                          What version do you in? :pkg-static info pkg
