NTop and IP-Blocklist

[Wolfsokin]

I am not sure if this should be posted here or in the Packages section but I don't have a 1.2.3 box to test this on and am not even sure if either of these packages are available on 1.2.3. Here is the scenario:

Install IP-Blocklist and get it running.
Install ntop and then remove it. It takes a lot of dependencies with it.
IP-Blocklist no longer works. It says it is running but it never downloads and applies the lists.
Reinstall ntop and now IP-Blocklist works again.

I tried removing ntop and reinstalling IP-Blocklist but no go. I tried removing ntop and removing IP-Blocklist, rebooting and then reinstalling IP-Blocklist and no go. I tried removing ntop and doing a snapshot upgrade and then reinstalling IP-Blocklist and no go. I have one thing more to try, removing ntop AND IP-Blocklist and then doing a snapshot upgrade and then installing IP-Blocklist.

I have reproduced this half a dozen times. Has anybody else seen this or can anybody else reproduce this?
