It seems that upon installation of snort-pgsql or snort-mysql
/etc/snort/snort.conf is changed.  As this file actually belongs to
snort-common, upgrade of that package fails.

So, to solve this bug, snort-common should remove these entries in it's
preinst, while snort-pgsql and snort-mysql add their configuration
snippets in a policy conform way.

It seems the easiest way to do this would be to include an
/etc/snort/snort-database.conf by default, and let that file be a
non-configuration file handled by snort-*sql... It also seems that it
must be at least an empty file, as snort doesn't start if one of it's
configuration files doesn't exists.


I think I could try to prepare an NMU for that, but would like to ask
for comments before doing so.


Best regards,
  Alexander
