        I get the same error. Thats becouse package snort-2.9.2.3.tbz from this link http://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz or from pfsense repository  http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz doesnt exist . If you take a look at root ftp directoryon FreeBSD u will see that packages-8.1-release directory doesn exist, only thouse directory :
        packages-8-stable/ 2012-Jun-07 06:23:01 -  Directory
        packages-8.2-release/ 2011-Feb-17 07:49:54 -  Directory
        packages-8.3-release/ 2012-Mar-29 00:26:51 -  Directory
        …........................... and other ...... :)
        And also in official repository file snort-2.9.2.3.tbz doesnt exist.
        As i know latest release of pfsense is based on 8.1 FreBSD release. At this moment i will try to and change the path of snort-2.9.2.3.tbz file to http://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-release/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz or to official old package snort-2.9.0.5.tbz http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/snort-2.9.0.5tbz . This is my first time when i try to change something in pfsense :) and i dont know what is the file from where pfsense take data to install  packages. If any one can help me with that i think we can solve the problem .. I will do some research :) wish me luck

          this isn't the reason why btw… pfsense packages dont download from freebsd repository. they come from files.pfsense.org.. read my post http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,50301.msg267674.html#msg267674

              Ok i get it , the reason is ..package is missing … as i saw  :( all i whant to know is from where pfsense takes data for package install, becouse  at least i can try to change the path to install and use the old package snort-2.9.0.5 until the new one comes.

                you'll find it here http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/  I have a feeling its not going to work because the package install via gui is going to fail because it the file isn't there right now.

                    Just ran into the same issue here.  I hope they place the latest snort package in the appropriate folder soon.

                      I tried upgrading the snort package, same error, the second URL, http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz, returns a 404 not found error.

                        http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz

                        That is a corrected path for the amd64 release. It appears the 8.1 path no longer exists.

                          i386 is at http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz
                          Don't we need snort package compiled for pfsense?

                            yes because there is a patch that is needed so it can integrate into pfsense for auto blocking

                              in my case
                              rm -r /var/db/pkg/snort-2.9.0.5_1
                              pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz

                              Then I try to install snort 2.9.2.3 from pfsense package manager again. It's only install perl-threaded-5.10.1_3.tbz from package manager.
                              Now snort 2.9.2.3 is running on my PfSense 2.0.1 i386

                                      yes sadly the same problem here - it was too soon to cheer, it installed everything fine and configuration went fine but it won't start and no error message also. Strange is that on snort page it says the old package version not the new one…

                                        It would because the GUI is from pfSense.. Snort doesn't come with a GUI… You have to create the config files by hand... pfSense GUI creates the files for us
