Package: snort-mysql
Version: 2.9.0.1-2
Severity: normal

By default, snort.conf includes the line

preprocessor http_inspect: global iis_unicode_map unicode.map 1252
compress_depth 65535 decompress_depth 65535

When compress_depth (and probably also decompress_depth) are there,
and then you try to start snort with /etc/init.d/snort start,
it fails, and the following appears in /var/log/daemon.log:

FATAL ERROR: /etc/snort/snort.conf(195) => Invalid keyword
'compress_depth' for 'global' configuration.

A quick Google search result makes me think that snort-mysql is being
built without the --enable-zlib option.

There is another line in snort.conf that must be removed before it
will start without zlib support:

inspect_gzip \

I hope this helps!

TY,
Jeff
