Hi!
I'm trying to install snort on a newly installed arch system.
It didn't go well..
Targets (1): snort-2.8.2.1-8
Total Download Size: 0.00 MB
Total Installed Size: 8.78 MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
checking package integrity...
(1/1) checking for file conflicts [#########################################################################################################################################################] 100%
(1/1) upgrading snort [#########################################################################################################################################################] 100%
/tmp/alpm_B2G8ys/.INSTALL: line 6: var/log/snort/alert: No such file or directory
error: scriptlet failed to execute correctly
Anyone knows what to do?

try this:
cd / # just in case (might work or not)
pacman -Scc
sudo pacman -Syyuu
sudo pacman -S snort
the flags usage:
-Scc to clean your downloaded packages (this does not "uninstall" them, just clean them)
-Syyuu to upgrade

There is no -uu option available for pacman -S, only -u/--sysupgrade.

quarkup, that has no effect, as it is (likely) a problem with the pre- or post-install script. Note that snort is still installed, but the script does not execute.

Just create the directory /var/log/snort/ :
# mkdir /var/log/snort
and reinstall :
# pacman -R snort
# pacman -S snort
Bye bye.
