      Hello,

      I maintain a couple of pfSense boxes and recently I needed to use 'nmap'. However, upon installing the package, 'nmap' did not work:

      ]/: nmap
      /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.3: unsupported file layout

      I found out, that this library is of the x86-64 architecture, even though my installation is 32-bit:

      /: file /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.3
      /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.3: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, stripped

      /: uname -a
      FreeBSD myhostname.local 10.1-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p9 #0 57b23e7(releng/10.1)-dirty: Mon Apr 13 20:33:39 CDT 2015    root@pfs22-i386-builder:/usr/obj.i386/usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/pfSense_SMP.10  i386

      Upon further investigation, I found a lot more 64-bit libraries / binaries (I can provide a list) and I suspect, that Auto Update was enabled, but with the wrong architecture URL chosen.

      Is there a way to remedy this without reinstalling?

      Best regards,

      Danilo

        On full install? No, not really.

          You're right - I thought there might be some 'partial' updates too, but just checked the update URL's and there are only full updates…

          So something else must be amiss...

            On nanobsd, an entire slice gets rewritten. On full install, stale/broken cruft keeps accummulating.

            Plus the firmware upgrade GUI is just retarded.
