Control: found -1 2.9.15.1-2 Hi,
it appears this conffile handling problem is caused by a not good enough attempt to move the old conffile /etc/cron.daily/5snort to /etc/cron.daily/snort-common. This was introduced in version 2.9.15.1-2 commit 8780db8c, to snort-common.preinst: + # rename probably existing cron job with old name + if [ -e /etc/cron.daily/5snort ]; then + mv /etc/cron.daily/5snort /etc/cron.daily/snort-common + fi It would appear trivial to change this to use dpkg-maintscript-helper mv_conffile instead. Someone with enough interest in snort should probably just make this change and upload it. Chris
