In "Version 2.8.5.2 (Build 121)" the statement "IPv6" is missing, probably due
to missing --enable-ipv6 statement during ./configure.
As IPv6 is already in use on many Ubuntu Server installations, it's quite
obvious that not only services like web or smtp-daemons but also IDS should
support IPv6.
Also the "Configuring snort" debconf does not say IPv6 is not supported, nor
it's checking the entered IP address, thus failing the install when an IPv6
homenet is entered.
