Psad not working on Debian stretch

[Doemela]

When I do
wget http://cipherdyne.org/psad/download/psad-2.4.6.tar.gz
and install it I get:
`root@cyberguerrilla ~/sources/psad/psad-2.4.6 # ./install.pl

If I install it with the github here it installs but when I start I get:
`root@cyberguerrilla ~/sources/psad/psad-git # systemctl status psad.service

In git master, I have updated the whois client so hopefully the whois issue is solved. For the Date::Calc issue, can you try installing libdate-calc-perl from the Debian package tree? By default, the psad installer only installs perl modules that don't appear to be available already on the system. So, if you are ok with re-running the installer, just '# rm -rf /usr/lib/psad' first and then run the installer, but after you have '# apt-get install libdate-calc-perl'. I believe this should fix the issue.

Had already the libdate-calc-perl think the '# rm -rf /usr/lib/psad' did the trick it is working now. Ty

Great, thanks for letting me know.

I had the same problem. I tried installing libdate-calc-perl, but it didn't seem to help. What fixed it for me was to create the missing directory: mkdir /usr/bin/whois_psad

*edit - then I had errors with permissions. I ended up installing using apt install psad.

Trying to install PSAD 2.4.6 on Ubuntu 20.04 i tried the above solutions and it takes me past the whos_psad directory but now I get stuck at the following line:

[*] Could not copy psadwatchd -> /usr/sbin/psadwatchd: No such file or directory at ./install.pl line 516.
