This is an artifact of the prior revision package php uninstall scripts being run in the newly installed php 8.1 and generating new errors. This is not fatal, and the new version of the package will have installed. For now errors like this on upgrade are to be expected, but this is not the same as what is reported by the issue author.

I think I see why you've run into this where others haven't. Around the line in question:

// Replace 'default' DNSBL active blocked webpage
if (!file_exists('/usr/local/www/pfblockerng/www/dnsbl_active.php') ||
    (isset($config['installedpackages']['pfblockerngdnsblsettings']) &&
    $config['installedpackages']['pfblockerngdnsblsettings']['config'][0]['dnsbl_webpage'] == 'dnsbl_default.php')) {  // error is hit here
    @copy('/usr/local/www/pfblockerng/www/dnsbl_default.php', '/usr/local/www/pfblockerng/www/dnsbl_active.php');
}

It's my expectation that you have a config section for pfblockerdnsblsettings, but no <config> elements inside it. As a result, the attempt to set the first element in the 'config' array fails because that array doesn't exist and attempting to index that key yields an empty string. What should be done here is something like this:

// Replace 'default' DNSBL active blocked webpage
if (!file_exists('/usr/local/www/pfblockerng/www/dnsbl_active.php') ||
    config_get_path('installedpackages/pfblockerngdnsblsettings/config/0/dnsblwebpage', '') == 'dnsbl_default.php') {
    @copy('/usr/local/www/pfblockerng/www/dnsbl_default.php', '/usr/local/www/pfblockerng/www/dnsbl_active.php');
}

The entire file probably warrants a once-over for converting direct $config accesses to use the interface functions.
