Syncing packages: OpenVPN Client Export Utility Removing package…

lyserge

Hi,

Just upgraded from Aug 21 snapshot to 2.0-BETA4-nanoBSD (i386) built on Tue Oct 12 14:27:32 EDT 2010.

The startup log shows that the OpenVPN Client Export Utility package gets removed on boot, this happens on every reboot:

...
Starting CRON... done.
Syncing packages: OpenVPN Client Export UtilityRemoving package...
Removing package...
Removing OpenVPN Client Export Utility components...
Executing rc.d items... 
Starting /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*.sh...done.
Bootup complete

It's also listed as installed under System: Package Manager. The problem is that I can't uninstall/reinstall, every option here just give me this line in the webGUI:

Loading package instructions...	Deinstall commands...

Can I manually remove all traces of OpenVPN Client Export Utility and then reinstall it?

Please share your thoughts and tips on how to proceed! ;)

Why are you upgrading to such an old snapshot?

There was an issue with the OpenVPN client export package that was making the package system think it was missing files and needed reinstalled. It should be OK now.

You can probably go into /usr/local/pkg/ and remove the openvpn client export files from there, and then try to reinstall.

I have read about all the problems with gateways in september and then I saw this thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,29584.0.html 8)

But I'll feel brave today and are upgrading to the newest snapshot right now.

btw, what is the mount command I should use if I wanted to delete the above files?

jimp

/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
rm /usr/local/pkg/openvpn-client-export*
viconfig
(Edit out the openvpn client export entry <package>…</package> tag)
/etc/rc.conf_mount_ro

Then reinstall the package.

/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
rm /usr/local/pkg/openvpn-client-export*
viconfig
(Edit out the openvpn client export entry <package>…</package> tag)
/etc/rc.conf_mount_ro

Then reinstall the package.

Thanx!

Will try the above in just a few minutes, the upgrade to the latest snapshot did not solve my problems. WebGUI just stalls when uninstall/reinstall the OpenVPN Client Export Utility:

Loading package instructions...	Deinstall commands...

The above procedure solved my problems, I will write them down for future references! Thank you jimp! :P

(Actually, I was reading 'man mount' on my OS X machine… And there was already scripts in the pfsense installation ready to use!)
