@Beerman:
Had some troubles to update the package.
Output of the installation process stops sometimes at "…waiting for snort to start...". Sometimes it stops at "... generating interface configuation...".
Even the attempt to remove the package, was sometimes not successful. Output stops at some point. Second try, works...
I tried several times the installation, but no success... Snort was running, but no entry in the web-config.
Then I restarted "php-fpm", and use the IE (before I was using Firefox - v.38.0.5) and installation was OK and did not take long...
I don´t know what helped... My guess is the change of browser, because on console I saw the whole installation process and snort did run after that, but the output stuck.
Unfortunately I tried both together... :-(
I checked again, today.
Removing and installation fails with Firefox 38.0.5
Output at removing of the package stops at:
Starting package deletion for snort-2.9.7.3-amd64...
Output at installation of the package stops at:
Please wait while Snort is started...
But with IE11 removing and installing of the package worked.
Installation took ~ 5 min.
