All,
Trying to install SNORT on my Kubuntu 18.04 LTS server and getting the following errors"
Code:apt install snort
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
snort : Depends: libdumbnet1 (>= 1.8) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.Following all the HOWTOs on fixing broken packages and/or fixing "libdumbnet1" get me no where. One HOWTO even had me remove the lock files, but still no change. I found that HOWTO at:
Code:https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-broken-packages-ubuntu/This is not the first time I've run into broken packages and all the HOWTOs have always been helpless, so hoping someone actually knows how to actually fix broken packages, other than the dribble nost have published that do not have a clue on fixing these scenarios.
Cheers!
