Hi everyone,
After upgrading Suricata to version 25.7.6 on my OPNsense system, I'm encountering repeated errors when trying to start the service. The logs show the following:

This message appears multiple times, both from root and kernel, and Suricata never successfully starts. Prior to the upgrade, everything was working fine.
Here's what I've checked so far:

No stale PID file (/var/run/suricata.pid)
Permissions on /usr/local/etc/suricata and config files are correct
Configuration file (suricata.yaml) passes validation
Network interface is correctly defined and exists
Tried restarting via CLI and GUI, same result

I suspect this might be related to changes introduced in 25.7.6, but I haven't found any breaking changes documented yet.
Has anyone else experienced this issue after the upgrade? Any suggestions or known fixes?
Thanks in advance!
