I've packaged Suricata 4.1.8 and the following package is now available at ppa:securityonion/test:

securityonion-suricata - 4.1.8-1ubuntu1securityonion1

Please test/verify as follows:

start with a 16.04 box with all stable updates applied
run through Setup, choosing Production Mode, Standalone, Best Practices, and Suricata
snapshot the VM if possible

add the test PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:securityonion/test

install all updates:
```
sudo soup -y
```
the Suricata package should back up your existing suricata.yaml, migrate your HOME_NET and EXTERNAL_NET variables, and tell you that you need to run sudo rule-update
PLEASE NOTE! suricata.yaml has recently changed SIGNIFICANTLY. Please sanity-check all options in suricata.yaml.
if necessary, manually update the new suricata.yaml for your environment
update rules:
```
sudo rule-update
```
verify the new version number:
```
suricata -V
```
run through your normal testing in as many different combinations as possible: PF_RING vs AF_PACKET single worker vs multiple workers Please note that AF_PACKET load balancing doesn't appear to work properly when tcpreplay is run on the same box as Suricata. AF_PACKET load balancing should work correctly when connected to a live tap or span port. Alternatively, if you're testing in a VM, you can run tcpreplay on another VM connected to the same virtual network as your Suricata VM.
check sostat output for anything out of the ordinary (specifically, check the pf_ring and Suricata sections for packet loss)
check log files for any warnings/errors out of the ordinary
reboot and make sure everything still works properly
re-run Setup and make sure everything still works properly
anything else I missed?

Thanks in advance for your time and effort!
