Hi,

We are using registered ruleset for Snort. After downloading the latest
LightSPD ruleset released on 2026-03-24, our sensor failed to start up with
an error

ERROR: ips.rules:6 can't open ../../rules/3.1.25.0/includes.rules
ERROR: ips.states:6 can't open ../../rules/
3.1.25.0/rulestates-security-ips.states

Looking at the the file lightspd/policies/common/load_ips.lua in the
release, there is a reference to 3.1.25 (which was not there in older
release)

if TALOS.functions.minsnortver_str("3.1.25.0-0") then
   table.insert(ruleDirs, "../../rules/3.1.25.0")
end

while there is no 3.1.25.0 subdirectory in the rules/

Commenting out the above 3 lines allows sensor to start. Is this a problem
with only the registered ruleset?

I initially posted this in snort-sigs list but cross-posting here as no
response was received on that list

Thanks,
Dheeraj
