I am seeing the same problem with snort from Debian Lenny being installed on Debian Etch by means of: # apt-get install -t testing snort
These are the snort related processes running when the postinst script hangs on the snort process started in the foreground: # ps aux | grep snort root 1351 0.2 4.3 19780 16768 pts/0 S+ 22:24 0:01 apt-get install -t testing snort root 1784 0.0 0.5 4552 2152 pts/0 S+ 22:27 0:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 16 --configure locales libc6-i686 libgcrypt11 libopencdk10 libgnutls26 libltdl3 libpcre3 libprelude2 snort-common mysql-common libmysqlclient15off snort-common-libraries snort-rules-default snort root 2769 0.1 2.2 11588 8732 pts/0 S+ 22:27 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/snort.postinst configure root 2781 0.0 0.3 3900 1356 pts/0 S+ 22:27 0:00 /bin/sh -e /var/lib/dpkg/info/snort.postinst configure root 2810 0.0 0.3 3904 1300 pts/0 S+ 22:27 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d snort start root 2826 0.0 0.3 3996 1408 pts/0 S+ 22:27 0:00 /bin/sh -e /etc/init.d/snort start root 2829 3.2 38.6 174068 149512 pts/0 S+ 22:27 0:11 /usr/sbin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -S HOME_NET=[192.168.0.0/16,134.184.0.0/16] -i eth0 root 2882 0.0 0.1 3068 720 pts/1 R+ 22:33 0:00 grep snort -- Frederik Himpe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
