Description

Packages built with the standard FreeBSD package system in 14.3 or 15.0 (pkg version 2.4.2) cause pkg and pkg-static in pfSense 24.11 (pkg version 2.3.1) to segfault.

This appears to have been a known issue in older versions of pkg that has since been resolved:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290959

The crash occurs in a sqlite3 call:

  UPDATE packages SET manifestdigest=‘blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah’ WHERE id=0;

Stephen has an example package that triggers the problem.

A pkg-static executable copied from either a 14.3 or 15.0 system works as expected under 24.11.

Hello,

Apologies, 24.11 was a typo. The current 25.11 RC (25.11.r.20251126.1732) is the affected version.

This is not an issue in practice given that builds are done with the pkg version respective to the release.

This is going to end up being a problem for some users as they depend upon being able to install upstream FreeBSD packages. It's also a problem for us developers who work on packages for pfSense because we build on FreeBSD systems for testing.

Please re-open, at least for tracking the issue.
