[Pkg-ossec-devel] OSSEC on Debian/Squeeze

[Slobodan Aleksić]

First thanks for your work on the Debain package!

I have cloned the git-repo and generated the .deb-files.

But when installing i get this :

Setting up ossec-hids-server (2.6-1) ...
dpkg: error processing ossec-hids-server (--install):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ossec-hids-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


And when trying to start the service:

/etc/init.d/ossec-hids-server start
Starting Host-based Intrusion Detection System : ossecStarting OSSEC
HIDS v2.6 (by Trend Micro Inc.)...

 failed!




How can I help debugging this? I tried some things like creating the
directory var/ossec/var/start-script-lock and so on.  But I did not get
far...
