IPRVersion.dat - No such file

[d4rwel]

Autosnort, more precisely Pulledpork, is failing due to missing file IPRVersion.dat.

autosnort_install.log:

Unable to open /opt/snort/rules/iplists/IPRVersion.dat for writing! - No such file or directory
at pulledpork.pl line 1324.
main::blacklist_write(HASH(0x55872d1b3308), "/opt/snort/rules/black_list.rules") called at pulledpork.pl line 2328

Simply creating an empty file IPRVersion.dat did the trick for me. In autosnort-ubuntu-AVATAR.sh at line 383 insert this:
dir_check $snort_basedir/rules/iplists
touch $snort_basedir/rules/iplists/IPRVersion.dat

Does anyone have a clue why the file is not being created by snort installation?

Snort Version: 2.9.11.1
Pulledpork Version: 0.7.4

I ran into the same issue. It appears that /opt/snort/rules/iplists/ was not created. Creating the directory and an empty IPRVersion.dat (as suggested above) did the trick. TBD if this may cause issues elsewhere.
