Kea DHCP and Boost-libs version mismatch: boost-libs-1.86.0 not available for installation on pfSense 2.8.1
0%
Description
Hello,
After upgrading to pfSense 2.8.1, I am unable to use Kea DHCP (version 2.6.2) because it requires boost-libs-1.86.0. Although boost-libs-1.86.0 appears in the package search results (pkg search boost-libs), it is not actually available for installation (pkg install boost-libs-1.86.0 returns "No packages available to install matching 'boost-libs-1.86.0' have been found in the repositories"). The only installed version is boost-libs-1.72.0_5, which is incompatible with the current Kea package.
This prevents Kea DHCP from starting and leaves only ISC DHCP as a working backend. The package catalog seems out of sync with the actual repository contents.
Thank you.
Below are the actions taken to try to resolve the issue. (Note: there is no DHCP category available for reporting this problem.)

Something is wrong with your installation/hardware or it's somehow looking at the wrong repository. If that one package is having an issue, odds are high that others are as well or you have some deeper problem.
Fastest fix would be to reinstall, or post on the forum if you want to dig deeper into what went wrong on your system.
CE 2.8.1 installs and uses boost-libs-1.86.0 and that is the version present in the repository.

I confirm that this is not a bug.
I have identified that the boost-libs package and several other packages remained locked after the update.
I unlocked the locked packages and performed an update, and now everything is working.
