It's about Snort package :)

We need more info. We especially need to know if you are using amd64 or i386.

Workaround is
pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/mysql-client-5.1.53.tbz

from command line
than everything installs correctly

Thx to Dienis this helps intalling snort package, but i also experienced this error. AFAICS it depends on the url's used to fetch the mysql package. Inside the Webinterface the following url's are tried:

http://www.pfsense.com/packages/config/snort/bin/8.1x86/mysql-client-5.1.53.tbz
and
http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-RELEASE/Latest/mysql-client-5.1.53.tbz

I tried them both in my browser ending up in an 404.

So i tried the manual method from Dienis which worked like a charm after setting the url for my amd64 system instead the i386 url.
The working url is:

http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/mysql-client-5.1.53.tbz

Hope it helps a bit because you asked for feedback on the pfsense website :-)

seems resolved now. Package is able to instal will no issues.

I am currently having this issue too and can confirm the problem is an error with both http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz and http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/snort-2.9.2.3.tbz leading to 404s.
