          Hi Doktornotor,

          Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for being so stupid.

          I just had a look at : http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/

          The file "snort-2.9.6.0-amd64.pbi" is just not there.

          Hence I asked on the forum.

          Please also find another Silly user like me who asked the same question:

          https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=74851.msg408725#msg408725

          Sorry again to be so silly.

          Hope you can help.

          Cheers,

          Raj

              Cheers CMB

              At least I was not that silly to report that the file was not on the repo instead of just searching for something there on the forum.  :-)
