pfSense

I clicked on the update button next to the Acme package on the dashboard. This appears to have caused pfSense to try to upgrade many packages including php and the base pfSense package (pfSense-2.4.3.txz). It stopped during this process at:

[6/113] Deleting files for pear-Cache_Lite-1.7.16,1.....

and nothing further happened.

Currently the system is still running and routing traffic (yay!), but it is in a somewhat broken state with a few updated php packages and no ability to upgrade cleanly to 2.4.4.

Things I thought to try:

• Upgrade the system to 2.4.4. But I'm not able to click the upgrade button now because the system shows "The system is on a later version than official release.", "Latest Base System - Warning:", "Status - Running a newer version."
• Download the 2.4.3 release and look for packages on the ISO, so I can restore the previous packages to the system. I couldn't find any packages on the ISO (pfSense-CE-2.4.3-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz), only individual files in various directories. Also - was hard to even find the 2.4.3 release, only on a couple of outdated sites such as http://linorg.usp.br/pfsense/downloads/ which I don't even know I can trust. The official download site does not provide any older versions.

I can't figure out where I could download individual packages that were updated such as pfSense-2.4.3.txz and pear-Net_URL2-2.2.1.

Thanks in advance for any hints. At this point I only would know how to reinstall the whole system from scratch despite only needing a few older packages to get back to the previous state.
