Package: snort-mysql
Version: 2.3.2-3
Severity: normal

When installing snort-mysql, the following message appears during installation:

-------------------------
Configuring snort-mysql
Snort needs a configured database to log to.

Please create the database structure now, using the following command:
 cd /usr/share/doc/snort-mysql/
 zcat create_mysql.gz | mysql -u <user> -h <host> -p <databasename>
Fill in the correct values for the user, host, and database names. MySQL
will prompt you for the password.

After you created the database structure, press 'ok' to continue.
-------------------------

At the time that this message appears, there is no
/usr/share/doc/snort-mysql and therefore running the commands is
impossible (presumably it will be there once package installation is
complete). However, package installation can't complete because I
can't continue until the database structure is in place!
