Description Roy-Magne Mo 2006-07-24 01:59:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
The script subst, which is a awk script, messes up just substitued lib path

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nagios-plugins-1.4.3-12.fc5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
the full path in seems to be cut short

Expected results:
to see the full path to the directory where utils.pm is

Additional info:

I'm not quite following what the issue is.  Are Nagios plugins failing or
returning bad results as a result of this?  If so which scripts?
Comment 3 Roy-Magne Mo 2006-07-24 02:13:26 UTC 
If you for example look at the subpackage nagios-plugins-breeze, you'll find a
"use lib" line like this:
use lib "nagios/plugins" ;

For embperl to function, you'll have to have a complete path to the directory
where utils.pm is kept, which is /usr/lib/nagios/plugins (at least on 32 bit
systems). This correct replacement is supposed to happen in the subst
awk-script, but the part I commented out seems to mess things up.

The way it is now, the perl script can't compile because it can't find utils.pm

Got'cha.  This has been reported but not yet fixed.  Please see but #196356 for
more information.  I'm hoping to fix this very soon.  Thanks for reporting it.
