Ubuntu 20.0.4 suricata 6.0.4 compile error(rules not installed as suricata-update not available)

If you can, its recommended to use Suricata-Update instead of curl, unless you have a strong reason to do so.

At the end of the ./configure there should be something about why suricata-update was not installed. Probably a missing dependency. Might be worth trying to fix that.

eg)

  Python support:                          yes
  Python path:                             /usr/bin/python3
  Python distutils                         yes
  Python yaml                              yes
  Install suricatactl:                     yes
  Install suricatasc:                      yes
  Install suricata-update:                 no, not bundled
