I have a NetGate 1541 running pfsense that is used on a disconnected network. In order to update and install needed bgp packages, I was able to get a primitive wireless connection working over a cellphone network as a temporary measure to apply these updates.
The dashboard said no pfsense update was needed as it was running the newest version. I was able to install the FRR package once I ran “pkg update” from the CLI console.. FRR and its dependencies seemed to install successfully as the web admin panel said success. I then saw that the factory installed IPsec and wireshark packages needed updated so I clicked the button to update those.
After that point, everything seemed to freeze. The admin web panel was unresponsive and the console was very slow as well. After waiting for a while with no change, I navigated away from that update package page. When I went back to the console, the “pkg update” command now returned an error saying libssl.so.30 cannot be found. Nothing with pkg commands worked. So I rebooted the device.
It is not back online and seems to be operating but the pkg errors persist. I would like to know how to resolve this issue before I put this device into production.
What can I do to solve this error? I’m unsure of the impact it is having at this point but don’t want to depend on the device until it’s working as expected without errors.
