        Let me add some (hopefully useful) log file data:

          These are sort of critical errors in that Snort is missing some of its shared-object libraries.  There is another new post on the 2.1.1-PRERELEASE thread about package reinstallation issues with NUT, so that points to an issue with the latest 2.1.1-PRERELEASE snapshot and its package reinstallation routines.  Hopefully the next snapshot will get things back to normal.  Snort has been reported to be working fine on the previous 2.1.1 snapshots (as you noted in your post).  The Snort package itself has not been updated since the middle of last week (and that was a minor PHP edit for a security hotfix).
