        Can you reproduce it on another system? I can't reproduce it here.

        It could be having trouble reading/writing the decompressed package files to your disk. The package appears to download correctly, in your output it shows the checksum matches, so it's not likely a problem with the server or the .pbi file. Especially since it works for others.

          It seems like the previous aborted squid installation is the culprit. I ask my mate what he did previously and I was told it was now his second attempt. What happened is that while installing it originally (the squid) he navigated to another page and when I came back he showed me the squid appearing in the list of installed packages but when I checked on the services the proxy server UI is not there so what I did is totally reinstalled from scratched. The restore factory settings did not work so I had to reinstall it from boot, and it worked.

          Thanks for looking into it anyway!

            In the future, with a botched for some reason squid, try:

            squid -k shutdown

            cd /var/squid/cache

            rm -rf *

            squid -z

            Then reboot and reinstall squid package.
