Package: snort Version: 2.9.2.2-2 I have also encountered this problem when installing snort for the first time on a freshly installed Debian host.
To get the package to configure I did the following steps: - I edited /etc/snort/snort.conf and changed the following two lines: var WHITE_LIST_PATH ../rules var BLACK_LIST_PATH ../rules to: var WHITE_LIST_PATH ./rules var BLACK_LIST_PATH ./rules - Then I created empty white/black list files like so: touch /etc/snort/rules/black_list.rules touch /etc/snort/rules/white_list.rules - Then I could get the package to configure by running: dpkg --configure --pending Regards, -- Jim Barber -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
