I applied the patch manually (in emacs), and ran apt-get -f install. snort-mysql did install successfully this time. I was prompted to create a mysql database for snort to use, which I wrote down. However, I did not follow the instructions, thinking that the already created mysql database for snort was the same as this would have created. Both snort and mysqld are running after I did this, so I am guessing that everything is working again. As logcheck picks up stuff that snort-mysql spots, I should know in an hour or two if snort-mysql is actually working. Gord
