            i just check github https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages/commit/868e1e048cae773da3b63b1d15b3e6340386df9c and and the binary was updated for the pfsense package… since packages are built custom for pfsense, they need to be compiled. Once its done, it will be located here: http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/

            not sure when it will be built, that is a question for ermal

              Same issue here.  At the least, please post instructions as to downloading and reinstalling previous version - FAST!

                  that isn't the reason why, read my post from earlier

                      Also the same problem, should be a trivial fix by mods… sadly no rollback option so running w/o protection until fixed :/

                        Here also same problem… Packages-tab where saying there was an update for snort.
                        During upgrade old package removed and new one cant be downloaded...  :'(
                        Have anyone already made a bug-report to staff?

                          I'm having the same issue,
                          It seems that if you enter http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/ in your browser, the file that pfsense is trying to get "snort-2.9.2.3.tbz" is not there. Though there is "Snort-2.9.2.tbz" and older versions.
                          Are the URLS of these packages hard coded into pfsense or something?

                          There has got to be a way to install it manually..

                            From another thread, I come to know that, snort-2.9.2.3.tbz is available here,

                            amd64 is at http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz
                            i386 is at http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz

                            But, whether snort build updated to this link?

                            I am managing the show with old box.

                            2.0.2-RELEASE (amd64)  &  2.2.2-RELEASE (amd64)

                            Always trying to learn!!

                              I agree.
                              The only problem is all the correct dependencies with other packages.
                              I think the easiest way is to change the index back so it's possible to install the 2.9.2 version and put 2.9.2.3 only in when it's really available.

                                pfsense packages are hard coded… search the wiki and the forum for the reason why... but if you install package/port, it could install a file and can break pfsense. Snort-2.9.2.tbz GUI was never completed, it used a patches to communicate with pf i believe. I started a new topic request the dev to change the package so it would download the old binary until the new is built and is tested

                                    From a thread I started about the same time as you…

                                    2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64)
                                    built on Mon Dec 12 18:43:51 EST 2011
                                    FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6

                                    In case the Snort devs do not know this. Or maybe it is just me?

                                      @Cino:

                                      noticed that too. barnyard2-1.9_2.tbz isnt built yet.. once its built, you should be good to go

                                        you can download the package to your pfsense box from the pfsense repo using wget, then install with pkg_add (in my case it said it was already installed).  The downside to this option is it only installs the command line tools, not the web configuration interface.  To use it you will have to get familiar with the command-line options

                                        Also, as mentioned previously, it's possible you might break something if you install from the standard freebsd repo.  I would guess that risk is minimized if you install from the pfsense repo, but still possible if you install something intended for a different version than what you're using.

                                        My install was failing while trying to install a dependency, barnyard2.

                                          There is http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/barnyard2 file so maybe we can work around the issue fetch http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/barnyard2 mv barnyard2 barnyard2-1.9_2.tbz then pkg_add -r barnyard2-1.9_2.tbz
                                          What if for i386 we use http://mirrors.syringanetworks.net/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/security/barnyard2-1.9_2.tbz
                                          or http://mirrors.syringanetworks.net/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-stable/security/barnyard2-1.9_2.tbz for 64 bit
