Upgrade to Snort 1.9.0

["Stefan Drees" <s_drees@t-online.de>]

Hello,
i´m working with debian since three months (coming from suse) and its great.
But now i need to upgrade snort 1.8.7 (from testing) to 1.9.0 because there
are no more rule files for 1.8.X.

So i have looked in unstable and found out, that i must upgrade to libpcap
0.7,
libc6-2.2.5-13 and libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7.
libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7 seems to be ok, no problems listed.
libpcap 0.7 seems to be ok, no "critical" problems listed only a missing
link to libpcap.so.0.
libc6-2.2.5-13 has many listed bugs and other problems. => problem => system
stable?

I need snort 1.9.0 but i want the system to be stable. Hope someone can help
me, how to do it.

Thanks in advance.
