Bug Description
Binary package hint: snort
Upgraded with adept-manager --dist-upgrade last night.
snort version installed: 2.7.0-2ubuntu1.
installed: snort, snort-common, snort-rules-
after installing and adapting config file for the new dynamic preprocessors, snort fails to start with:
Oct 5 01:50:20 azrael snort[29203]: FATAL ERROR: Failed to load /usr/lib/
The snort.conf line affecting this behaviour is:
#######
# Step #2: Configure dynamic loaded libraries
#
# If snort was configured to use dynamically loaded libraries,
# those libraries can be loaded here.
#
# Each of the following configuration options can be done via
# the command line as well.
#
# Load all dynamic preprocessors from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-
#
dynamicpreprocessor directory /usr/lib/
#
# Load a specific dynamic preprocessor library from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-
#
# dynamicpreprocessor file /usr/lib/
#
# Load a dynamic engine from the install path
# (same as command line option --dynamic-
#
dynamicengine /usr/lib/
#
Same happens with the files in /usr/lib/
the file command shows:
libsf_dcerpc_
libsf_dns_
libsf_ftptelnet
libsf_smtp_
libsf_ssh_
looks like the dynamic libs provided with snort in amd64 architecture are i386 versions.

status: | Unknown → Fix Released |
The dynamic files I a referring to are installed by snort-common, so the issue is with this package, all other snort packages seem correct.
