Bug 1410039

Proposed and verified fix is here:

https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins/commit/367a44187db1c18a9fd4ba5fafe844f80cbb03c5

*** Bug 1410055 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

So when is this package going to be fixed in EPEL? Could one of the maintainers just patch in the fix in the SPEC and make a new release? There's no information on when upstream will release a fix, and this check remains broken for all of CentOS 6!

Note this breaks on CentOS 7 too. A simple fix that works for me is to comment out line 80, which quotes the filename:

# $opt_f = '"' . $opt_f . '"';

Correction, CentOS 7 seems OK if you're using the stock /usr/bin/perl (the bug only occurs with older Perl).

Hello maintainers,

This is a high to urgent severity bug! Could one of you please tell us what you're doing to resolve it? Surely you're not just sitting around waiting for upstream to release a new version?

Remember that ALL our Icinga checks are affected by this!!

Need help maintaining nagios* ?

Hi Oden,

If your comment was in jest, then I smile :)

If you were serious, then I thank you for the offer, but we don't need help. We have applied a sledgehammer fix that has made the file_age plugin work again. It involves deleting the offending line from the plugin, using our config management system (Ansible). Nevertheless, it's additional complexity.

In my opinion, a package that BREAKS things, should be very quickly updated. Otherwise it makes us lose faith in auto-updating from EPEL. In my opinion, 9 days to too long. I expected a fix to appear within a couple of days of this report.

It was aimed at RH EPEL in general. I maintained nagios* for many years in Mandriva Linux and did the mega split of nagios-plugins long before this package was split.

Note. Mageia was forked 2010 an the split was done long prior that.

https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/nagios-plugins/current/SPECS/nagios-plugins.spec?revision=1078890&view=markup

Well.

Hello. Could one of the maintainers please provide an update of what they intend to do to fix this issue?

I am taking this bug and will be putting out a fix as soon as I look over the proposed ones. 

Oden and Anand, please do me a favor and review the packages at 

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/smooge/Nagios_Update/

This is where I will be doing the 'fixes' and updated for moving the plugins and other tools. Oden since you helped maintain Nagios for Mandriva I would appreciate any tips and work you can help me with as I am doing this as an "I need to get you guys and myself working"

Stephen,

As an FYI, upstream is coming out with an new version that has this and a few others fixed very shortly.

Is there a git repo and commit that I can point to for this?
