25.7.9: pkg exited on signal 11 after pkg update

[kozistan]

Hi, after upgrading to OPNsense 25.7.9 I started seeing repeated crashes of pkg with signal 11 on my firewall and I am not sure what is going on.

System log (repeating every minute):

Right now the firewall seems to work, but the segmentation fault happens every time pkg update runs and clutters the logs. I am just trying to understand if this is a known issue with 25.7.9 / the new kernel, or something broken on my installation only.

Could you please advise what might be wrong or what additional diagnostics I should provide?

Thank you in advance.

Using an Intel CPU? See this, point 23.

Thank you for the tip! I've performed diagnostics following point 23. Here are my findings:

Code Select Expand

PU: 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U (Alder Lake)
hw.pci.enable_aspm: 0 (disabled in /boot/loader.conf)
Microcode: no matching update found
I've tried:
Disabled ASPM by adding hw.pci.enable_aspm="0" to /boot/loader.conf → reboot

Cleared pkg cache: rm -rf /var/cache/pkg/*

Ran pkg update -f again and problem persists. The segmentation fault still occurs at exactly the same point:

SunnyValley repository update completed. 66 packages processed.
All repositories are up to date.
Child process pid=58709 terminated abnormally: Segmentation fault

This issue appeared only after upgrading to 25.7.9 (worked fine on previous versions)
Opnsense is installed on Vault Pro VP6650 – Intel i5 with X710 NIC's (ixl)

Any advice?
