Could be you'll need to reinstall ldso from stable, then. Downgrading is
really only supported at the user's risk, as is mixing stable and
unstable packages (you probably needed to upgrade libdb2 too, and there
are lots of complex issues there). You might find it easier to build the
snort source package from unstable on your stable system.
