      Hi All,

      Long time lurker, first time poster.

      I am having an issue installing Suricata. I have had the package installed before but uninstalled it during some troubleshooting.

      I am getting the following error:

      [11/13] Extracting suricata-4.0.4: ......
      pkg-static: Fail to create temporary file: /usr/local/etc/suricata/.suricata.yaml.sample.CBQeVbsESo3r:Not a directory

      I have been experiencing this issue on both the stable and dev builds (Currently on the latest dev build).

      I have tried Googling the error with little success. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

        This is a wild guess but does your router have a file named /usr/local/etc/suricata?

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
