I'm reaching out to see if anyone else experienced similar nprobe and ntopng 
install issues on Ubuntu 16.10.

I started with a clean install, fully patched, and rebooted.  I then run the 
following:


wget http://apt-stable.ntop.org/16.04/all/apt-ntop-stable.deb

<http://apt-stable.ntop.org/16.04/all/apt-ntop-stable.deb>dpkg -i 
apt-ntop-stable.deb

apt-get clean all

apt-get update


The update says there's no Release file and it can't find Packages:


.../16.10/all/Packages 404 Not Found

.../16.10/x64/Packages 404 Not Found


But I try to install any way:


apt-get install pfring nprobe ntopng


This returns that it can't find the pfring, nor nprobe packages.

I then try: apt-get install ntopng and it WORKS.


I try nprobe by itself unsuccessfully:


root@ntop:~# apt-get install nprobe

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package nprobe


So I download the packages manually, but it requires DKMS installed first, so I 
install that separately:


root@ntop:~# apt-get install dkms

Reading package lists... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  binutils cpp cpp-6 dkms fakeroot gcc gcc-6 libasan3 libatomic1 libc-dev-bin 
libc6-dev libcc1-0 libcilkrts5

  libfakeroot libgcc-6-dev libgomp1 libisl15 libitm1 liblsan0 libmpc3 libmpx2 
libquadmath0 libtsan0 libubsan0

  linux-libc-dev make manpages-dev

0 upgraded, 27 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.


Then I manually download and install nprobe:


root@ntop:~# wget 
http://apt-stable.ntop.org/16.04/x64/nprobe_7.4.170202-5334_amd64.deb

root@ntop:~# dpkg -i nprobe_7.4.170202-5334_amd64.deb

It requires librdkafka1 and others to be installed first:


root@ntop:~# apt-get install librdkafka1

Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 nprobe : Depends: pfring (= 6.4.1-1118) but it is not installable

          Depends: libcurl3 but it is not going to be installed

          Depends: libnetfilter-queue1 but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a 
solution).

root@ntop:~# apt-get -f install

Reading package lists... Done

Correcting dependencies... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

  libcurl3 libnetfilter-queue1 librdkafka1

Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

The following additional packages will be installed:

  libcurl3 libnetfilter-queue1 librdkafka1

The following packages will be REMOVED:

  nprobe

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  libcurl3 libnetfilter-queue1 librdkafka1

0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

1 not fully installed or removed.

So it finishes and removes nprobe, which I didn't think was installed.

I then try nprobe again:


root@ntop:~# dpkg -i nprobe_7.4.170202-5334_amd64.deb

Selecting previously unselected package nprobe.

(Reading database ... 100216 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nprobe:

 nprobe depends on pfring (= 6.4.1-1118); however:

Nprobe requires PFRing, so I then download and install pfring:

root@ntop:~# wget 
http://apt-stable.ntop.org/16.04/x64/pfring_6.4.1-1118_amd64.deb


root@ntop:~# dpkg -i pfring_6.4.1-1118_amd64.deb

I get an error and try PFRing alone:


root@ntop:~# dpkg -i pfring_6.4.1-1118_amd64.deb

(Reading database ... 100311 files and directories currently installed.)

It works, so then I try nprobe again:

(Reading database ... 100311 files and directories currently installed.)

And that worked.

With all of this said, I had no issues installing the recommended way on Ubuntu 
14.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong along the way, so any advice would be much 
appreciated.
