Related problem occuring in Hardy/8.04.1. ntop not previously installed gives funny messages which appear to be the result of incorrect ownership... /var/lib/ntop is owned by root rather than ntop. Since it is recommended that users NOT run ntop as root, the directory seems like it should be owned by ntop as the below message implies.
