Hi Fedora community ,
today I am trying to figure out , what happened to my Snort installation.Note the fact that I have been using Snort daily without issues.
As you can see here :
$ sudo dnf install snort
[sudo] password for meow:
Sorry, try again.

balena-etcher-source 646 B/s | 648 B 00:01
keybase 2.3 kB/s | 3.3 kB 00:01
Package snort-1:3.1.42.0-1.fc36.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
The package is installed now look at this output :
$ snort
snort: error while loading shared libraries: libdaq.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[meow@cat ~]$ snort --version
snort: error while loading shared libraries: libdaq.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
also
$ sudo dnf remove snort
Dependencies resolved.

Pipe does not exist (/var/run/fapolicyd/fapolicyd.fifo)
Perhaps fapolicy-plugin does not have enough permissions
or fapolicyd is not running...

All advice is appreciated.
