After running this:

   - apt-get install ntopng pfring nprobe ntopng-data n2disk nbox

and running a Factory Reset in the nbox GUI,
my root file system was wiped out and my existing /home folders were gone
and /etc/passwd was replaced.

I'd really like to not have that happen when I try again to instal ntop.
Can anyone clue me in on which of those packages is deadly to my existing
Ubuntu server?
Thanks!
