Snort Error - FATAL ERROR: ERROR misc-lib Line 13=>> hexmode is not completed
I posted the message below to the snort users mailing list and received
a reply that I need to update, even though I am running testing.
However I did a quick apt-get remove/install but this did not help, I
still got the same errors.
Any help appreciated, otherwise I will raise a bug report.

Wow. misc-lib? Sounds like you *really* need to update your
installation
of snort. We stopped using the "-lib" naming conventions a very long
time
ago.
