pfSense-pkg-Nexus

[dennypage]

I tried to remove the Nexus package, and received this:

This package is vital to system operation and cannot be removed.

I'm not using Nexus, and was previously able to remove it in 25.07.1 with no apparent ill effect.

Sorry if this is a stupid question: Is there something in the package that is now necessary to base pfSense operation? If so, why are those components still in a separate package rather than in the pfSense base?

It's necessary. We made the package visible in the package manager page to allow easy updates outside of full releases.

@marcosm can you be more specific? What functionality does it hinder.
