Snort installation error

During Snort installation on a new Ubuntu 16.04 virtual server, the installer asks "Address range for local network?" with default of 192.168.0.0/16, which I accept.

After installing several packages, the following error is displayed. The default IP address may need to be changed to something else but I'm not sure. I tried pinging the server's broadcast IP address but that failed. Can someone help me with troubleshooting this Snort installation error?
