All packages fail to install! :(

I've tested package installation for 2-3 days in 2 different adsl line and 3 different alix board...
Now I've only lan with gateway. Embedded image 512Mb 10.03.2010.
I can't see errors on log files :(

Yes, only embedded, iso works fine

Try again in about 15 minutes. I just committed a fix for the openvpn-client-export case but there are surely more packages that have this issue as well that should be looked at.

FYI, I just tried imspector, lcdproc, bandwidthd and snortdev with no success. 2g-nano updated to 3/9/10.

Same error with clean image :(

It appears to be a read-only mount issue on the embedded image.

I tested this using LCDProc and I was able to get the package to install after looping the remount of / as rw from the shell during install.

I just attempted this. Mounted as rw via shell and tried LCDProc with no success on the 1G embedded dated 3-14.

I looked into this again after Andy had it failed. It appears my loop of mount -o rw /dev/ufs/pfsense0 / only worked because it happened that right time, being after the package downloaded and before the install.

After digging through everything is I've found that adding conf_mount_rw(); to /etc/inc/pkg-utils.php before line 406, corrects the issue and allows packages to install.

406: conf_mount_rw();
407: exec("cat {$g['tmp_path']}/y | /usr/sbin/pkg_add -fv {$fetchto} 2>&1", $pkgaddout);

Does it get remounted in the proper read-only state afterward?

Yes, after the install the disk gets remounted in a read-only state.

I figured out you need another conf_mount_rw(); if you install as example OpenVPN Export Utility. This Package installs additional p7zip and zip packages.

I could manage to install these packages with the following in /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc

1553         conf_mount_rw();
   1554         $fout = fopen($destination_file, "wb");

On last build ( tested on pfSense-2.0-BETA1-1g-20100322-0920-nanobsd ) works!

Tnx
