Packages pre-deinstall script removes temporary files used by pkg

Description
Upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.4 removes Snort from the drop-down.
During the upgrade process I see this:
The following 4 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):
Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
pfSense-pkg-snort-3.2.9.2_16 [pfSense] (ABI changed: 'freebsd:10:x86:64' -> 'freebsd:11:x86:64')

Once the upgrade completes I can see the Snort package under Installed Packages and noticed this at the bottom of the Installed Packages page:
Newer version available Package is configured but not (fully) installed
The Snort dashboard still shows but the service is missing from the Services drop-down. Here is the system log pertaining to Snort:

Re-installing the Snort package corrects this issue and retains the user's configuration.
I've tested this on a SG-2220 and C2758.

This is not a Snort bug. Beyond already linked #7229, there's another example of pkg being braindead junk here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=127480.msg703531#msg703531

After dig into it I found the root cause of the problem, which I will describe here and work on a fix later.
During package reinstall process, when old version is removed, PRE-DEINSTALL script is called and run /etc/rc.packages with 'when' argument set to 'deinstall'. This action triggers delete_package_xml() and it has following code:
/* deinstall commands */
if ($when == "deinstall" && $pkg_config['custom_php_deinstall_command'] <> "") {
update_status(gettext("Deinstall commands... "));
if ($missing_include == false) {
eval_once($pkg_config['custom_php_deinstall_command']);
update_status(gettext("done.") . "\n");
} else {
update_status("\n". gettext("Not executing custom deinstall hook because an include is missing.") . "\n");
}
}
Taking Cron package as an example, when 'custom_php_deinstall_command' is executed it recursively removes '/usr/local/www/packages/cron' and at this time this directory contains temporary files used by pkg, thus we see that 'Fail to rename' message.
We need to verify on all packages for cases like this and provide a way to separate pre and post deinstall actions.

A workaround was added on pkg for specific packages and versions when same situation happened there. In our case a complete review of uninstall scripts will be necessary.

- Status changed from New to Feedback
I've reviewed deinstall functions for all packages and removed commands that can cause this symptom. It still can happen on systems with old versions installed during upgrade.
