I've tracked down the point where the post-installation fails.

It fails in the script /var/lib/dpkg/info/snort.config when line 16
"db_get snort/reverse_order" is run.

To workaorund  this failure I have removed the following lines from
script /var/lib/dpkg/info/snort.config:

        db_get snort/reverse_order
        if [ "x$RET" = "xyes" ]; then
        # Remove the -o option which was introduced by Debconf
        # (snort/reverse_order) in versions previous to 2.8.5.2-2
            DEBIAN_SNORT_OPTIONS=`echo "$DEBIAN_SNORT_OPTIONS" | sed -e 's/ 
-o$//'`
        fi

I believe this bug is related to the following change:

I hope this helps.
