Work around to still install snort with this bug unfixed
remove the log file with the root user instead of the snort user:
sudo rm /var/log/snort/alert
create a file /etc/default/snort with:
sudo gedit /etc/default/snort
# Parameters for the daemon
PARAMS="-m 027 -D -d "
SNORTUSER="snort"
LOGDIR="/var/log/snort"
SNORTGROUP="snort"
ALLOW_UNAVAILABLE="no"
retry the installation:
sudo apt-get install snort
