The Avahi package is looking for dbus-1.4.0.tbz when only dbus-1.4.6.tbz exists on files.pfsense.org:

Install dbus first with pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/dbus-1.4.6.tbz

Then try package instalation again and feedback if it install and if package works with dbus-1.4.6.

Hi,
Installed dbus-1.4.6.tbz by hand and install still fails in an identical manner..
It seems to be getting hung up on the fact that it can't download it.

Thanks for your help,

FAB

Install dbus first with
pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/dbus-1.4.6.tbz

and then trick out unmatched specific package version.
cp -r /var/db/pkg/dbus-1.4.6 /var/db/pkg/dbus-1.4.0

It worked to me.
