Hi Gaudenz,
This is a known "bug" or not so nice feature for package maintainers.
I do not want to completely change the installation procedure for NfSen 1.x
If you think, it could be easily separated, and there still is a resulting
install.pl which runs everything in sequence, feel free to send me patches.
However, moving setup into the base system may have a to big impact.
Regards
- Peter
