Description

I'm using pfsense 2.1-RELEASE-i386. I tried to update Unbound, but the PBI file isn't available for download. The location pfsense attempts to use is http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/unbound-1.4.21_3-i386.pbi. That file does not exist. The old version, 1.4.21_1-i386.pbi does still exist though. Unfortunately, the PBI was uninstalled and then the new version not installed since there was no PBI downloaded.

Request that pfsense add a sanity check to verify it downloaded a pbi before uninstalling the old version. Otherwise you may be in a situation like I am in where you lose a pbi service that results in a loss of network connectivity.

I'll be opening a separate ticket on the pfsense packages project to hopefully get the new version uploaded or to get pfsense to stop thinking that an unreleased version exists.
