Hi everyone
We installed ossec 3.0 using this method http://www.ossec.net/downloads.html#apt-automated-installation-on-ubuntu-and-debian a month ago and everything ran correctly since. Today I have tried to run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and I have encountered errors regarding ossec.
Preparing to unpack .../ossec-hids-agent_3.0.0-5609trusty_amd64.deb ... Unpacking ossec-hids-agent (3.0.0-5609trusty) over (3.0.0-5607trusty) ... Removing user

We now cannot get ossec working. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any ideas?
Thanks for reading. J
