Are you running as root? If not I would try and see if maybe that solves the problem....

Hi Brandbrand
I am have the root login into the system.
The remaining packages are installed successfully.
On first time the the error was same ie
########################################### [100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/sbin/snort-plain;4464537d: cpio: open failed - Permission denied
for posting thing I have tried the same thing & the output is pasted.

Very strange message, first time I am coming across this message.
Any solution on this?
