Package: fwsnort
Version: 1.6.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
What I did:
- Update the snort rules: sudo fwsnort --update-rules
- Run fwsnort: sudo fwsnort
- instantiate the fwsnort policy: sudo /var/lib/fwsnort/fwsnort.sh
The result:
[+] Splicing fwsnort 11647 rules into the iptables policy...
iptables-restore v1.6.0: invalid port/service `[6789]' specified
Error occurred at line: 11464
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.
