      I was tidying up, removing packages I wasn't using and when I removed the IPSEC Profile Wizard all hell broke loose: pfSense-plus: 25.11.r.20251118.1708 got removed!

      >>> Removing pfSense-pkg-ipsec-profile-wizard...
      Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
      Deinstallation has been requested for the following 2 packages (of 0 packages in the universe):
      
      Installed packages to be REMOVED:
      	pfSense-pkg-ipsec-profile-wizard: 1.2.4
      	pfSense-plus: 25.11.r.20251118.1708
      
      Number of packages to be removed: 2

        I found a config created just before the package removal fest begun and managed to restore it. There's no automatic installation of packages it seems, and manually installing Nexus gives me this, unhelpful...:

        However, I managed to install it running "pkg install pfSense-pkg-Nexus". The other packages have also been reinstalled, and my pfSense appears to be back in action, fingers crossed.
