Description

Same issue resolved with this commit:
http://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense-packages/repository/revisions/3bd2e6738affb0c731993dcdc06d756e23a0dd24
for pfSense 2.0 .

It's given me a great deal of grief on a production machine.

Squid 3 is not and has never been recommended for general use. It's experimental at best. Please use squid 2.9.x if you need stability.

No problem with its stability so far. The problem was tricking the package system into believing the package was version 3.1.14 instead of the 3.0.8, which is the only one actually available, when it automatically reinstalled some packages.
Unless you mean that being experimental the package version changes in a quite more liberal fashion than squid 2.9.x, although I hope that is not the case.

No, I mean the squid3 package has been broken in some fashion the majority of the time, and when it works, you're lucky that it works. It hasn't had an active maintainer in quite some time.

Closing this out, it's seen some active work lately, issues are likely resolved, or at least need re-tested.
