Package: snort
Version: 2.7.0-10
While upgrading to snort 2.7.0-10, I was told that
Starting Network Intrusion Detection System : snort (eth0 ...ERROR:
interface not available) failed!
This appears to be because /etc/init.d/snort uses this to check if an
interface is available:
# Check if the interface is available
if ip link show dev "$interface" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
Unless I'm mistaken, this means that snort should depend on the iproute
package to ensure that /sbin/ip is available.
Sincerely,
Torbjörn Andersson
