This is where apt-get stops working, never gets beyond line above. The installation did prompt me with the following...

Manual configuration required

You will need to go to http://localhost/acidlab first to force the
database modifications for ACIDlab. It is also advised that you run this
either over HTTPS or with some form of access control on the webserver.

This webpage doesn't exist on my system. I've installed Snort, used all default settings in Snort. I noticed a portscan a few days ago and wanted to get Acid working quickly. Do I need to setup Snort to integrate with MySQL before installing Acidlab? Never the less the install program has caused synaptic to bitch about the botched acidlab install. It tells me to run dpkg --configure -a, this does not fix the situation. I had to dpkg -P acidlab to get synaptic/apt-get to function. Help, I don't want to configure snort by console, i'd rather use Acid.
