pfSense

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.)
