Hello, this is my first post here. The Forum is very cool, but a have one question:
Today i have one appliance in AWS FreeBSD running at version 11.3-Stable AMD64 and i know this version is a older version of freeBSD. But when i try update running pkg update i receive a follow error:

Shared Object "libarchive.so.7" not fund, required by "pkg"

i tried to run pkg-static bootstrap -f and then the S.O return for me the follow error:

Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+https://firmware.netgate.com/pkg/pfsense_plus-v23_01_amd64_pfsense_plus_v23_01, please wait...
pkg: Error fetching https://firwamre.netgate.com/pkg/pfsense_plus-v23_01_amd64-pfsense_plus_v23_01/Latest/pkg.txz: Not Found
A Pre-built version of pkg could not be found for your system
Consider changin PACKAGESITE or installing it from ports: 'ports-mgmt/pkg'.
I don't know how I can fix this. Can anyone help me or has anyone ever had the same problem?

You don't have FreeBSD, mate. You have pfSense.

 
this problems is not related with FreeBSD?
Barely. Your system is based on FreeBSD (and sure, pkg is a tool from FreeBSD), but offers its own releases and, obviously, its own package repositories as well.

All I can tell you here is that this looks like your version of pfSense is end of life (probably for a long time), and packages aren't available any more either. You don't upgrade the system with pkg, that's the tool to upgrade additional software packages. First step will be to upgrade your base system. For how to do that, it's unlikely anyone around here will know, ask the pfSense community instead.
