Messed up debian install of snort

  So I read about snort and ran apt-get to install it on my debian firewall.
Well i proceeded to play with it and broke it so I was just going to start
from scratch and remove it with apt-get when i probably should of
reconfigured.  So anyway removing snort didn't delete the /etc/snort and the
/var/log/snort so i manually deleted those otherwise installing it again
just used the same messed up conf.

   Anyway now when I apt-get snort it spits this out at me...

chown: failed to get attributes of `/etc/snort/snort.conf': No such file or
directory
dpkg: error processing snort (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 snort
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


  Anyway to fix this so it will make the default snort.conf again?  I know
it did it the first time i installed it and I don't know why it's not just
doing it again.
