John, Dependencies are not pulled in automatically with dpkg -i so this is why you receive errors.
Moreover, installing from .deb packages is not an officially supported procedure. You should add the ntop repositories and then install packages via 'apt-get install' as explained here: http://packages.ntop.org/apt-stable/ Regards, Simone On Thu, Feb 2, 2017 at 9:28 PM, John Hala <john.h...@villanova.edu> wrote: > I'm reaching out to see if anyone else experienced similar nprobe and > ntopng install issues on Ubuntu 16.10. > > I started with a clean install, fully patched, and rebooted.
