Remove the following packages:
snort-mysql

Score is -9879

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q

And a short exploration of seeing what is needed if some of the other
snort packages in the dependency chain are upgraded just makes things
scarier.

Sooooo, in the context of Ryan's comment is it really necessary to test
