Bug #6132
Updated by Jason Ish about 1 year ago
With the migration away from distutils for Python program in Suricata 6.0.7 (#5313), the Suricata-Update sample configuration files are no longer being installed.
Note: This bug is in Suricata Makefiles, not Suricata-Update.
To reproduce, use Suricata-Update installed as part of Suricata and then run:
<pre>
suricata-update --dump-sample-configs
</pre>
And the following error should be seen:
<pre>
