SQUID: The command '/sbin/pfctl -nf /tmp/rules.test.packages' returned exit code

[Nachtfalke]

Hi,

I got this in syslog - even if I did a full reinstall or a uninstallation and then a new installation again.

Can't tell what is wrong unless you post the contents of /tmp/rules.test.packages along with the error messages so the "invalid" lines can be inspected.

Stange….I deleted all files and directories in /tmp/ and reinstalled squid and no more problems in system log.

I will come back if the problem returns and post the hopefully necessary files.

Nevertheless - thanks
