Just checked with the current master - rev 66346e4

With the config section bellow the ERR is the same

With the config section below:

      types:
        - alert:
            payload: yes             # enable dumping payload in Base64
            payload-buffer-size: 4kb # max size of payload buffer to output in eve-log
            payload-printable: yes   # enable dumping payload in printable (lossy) format
            packet: yes              # enable dumping of packet (without stream segments)
            http: yes                # enable dumping of http fields
            tls: yes                 # enable dumping of tls fields
            ssh: yes                 # enable dumping of ssh fields
            smtp: yes                # enable dumping of smtp fields

There is no issue. However I think it is more visible/intuitive now with the latest changes (as compared to 2.1beta4) to the suricata.yaml how the uncommenting needs to be done in that section.
