Hi All, - Ubuntu 16.04 - Bro installed from Source (from repo updated today) - Using pyenv for python virtualenv - pip install bro-pkg (bro3) bro-user@bro:~$ bro-pkg install bro-doctor The following packages will be INSTALLED: bro/ncsa/bro-doctor (1.9.0) Proceed? [Y/n] Y Skipping unit tests for “bro/ncsa/bro-doctor”: no test\_command in metadata Installing “bro/ncsa/bro-doctor” Installed “bro/ncsa/bro-doctor” (1.9.0) (bro3) bro-user@bro:/opt/bro/share$ bro-pkg list bro/ncsa/bro-doctor (installed: 1.9.0) - A broctl plugin that helps you troubleshoot common problems (bro3) bro-user@bro:/opt/bro/share$ broctl doctor.bro Error: unknown command ‘doctor.bro’ BroControl Version 1.7-7 … So… I did a find under /opt for doctor.bro or bro-doctor\* etc… I didn’t find anything… so I’m sure it’s just pilot error… can someone point out where I went wrong ?

I think you need an initial    bro-pkg autoconfig That will cause bro-pkg to figure out where your bro installation is. I think otherwise it installs to your home directory. Also, there’s a bug in bro-pkg (that should be fixed very soon) that is causing bro-pkg to install an older version of bro-doctor, so for now you’ll want to do     bro-pkg install bro-doctor --version 1.13.0 To force it to install the latest version. ---

You need to write the output from that in ~/.bro-pkg/config too. I don't think it automatically puts the config in there.    .Seth ---

Ah, that behavior is different than it used to be then. Pretty good to see actually! I like that better than having to write to the file yourself.    .Seth ---
