Squid on 2.8

Re: Squid fails to re-install on 2.8
@jc1976 What error do you get? I was able to install it. -
It just says install failed.
i ran it twice and received different error messages both times.
I'd run the installer again to help you out with error messages but 1) again, each message was different so i doubt that would help you, and 2) i'm a bit concerned that if i keep running and trying to force it, something might further break and end up taking me offline and I can't be offline at this moment.
hopefully someone can chime in and direct me as to how to get the logs so I can provide the needed info, although unfortunately squid/clamAV isn't well liked and support can be a bit iffy, so I dunno if anyone will bother to provide advice.

@jc1976 I'm sorry I'm not more learned about pfSense, but do you have enough space for the caching? Just a hunch.

@70tas oh yeah, that's not an issue..
squid was somewhat deprecated but one of the users on this forum started updating it so that the latest version of clamav could work with pfsense. although it wasn't considered "official" as per the package manager, it installed and worked perfectly.
lotta library updates with this last version update i guess and somewhere there's an incompatibility, i guess..
this was NOT a trivial update (going from 2.7.2->2.8). I have 3 pfsense boxes and in all my years and updates, i've never had an issue going from one version to the next. this was the first time. I followed the instructions; uninstalled all my packages and rebooted before initiating the version upgrade. on each box there was a problem where despite the upgrade claiming to be successful, i had to manually update a second time or two, rebooting between to get it to show the correct version before reinstalling my packages.
that's probably where the issue lies with squid..

Try installing it at the CLI with debug to get more error output:
pkg -d install pfSense-pkg-squid
