First, there is no "mrtg" section under bugzilla. Please make a "mrtg" section and move this bug there. Second, mrtg is totally hosed under RH6.2. Install a fresh RH6.2 system and install mrtg and watch root's e-mail for errors. To fix those: cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 ln -s ../BER.pm ln -s ../SNMP_SESSION.pm ln -s ../SNMP_util.pm Then, once those are fixed, mrtg is complaining that "locales_mrtg.pm" is missing. I checked: http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/mrtg-2.8.11-2.i386_fl.html and used "locate" and couldn't find it on the machine or in the package list for the rpm. So, this file (and possibly more) is/are missing from the rpm. Does anyone even check or test these packages? NOTE: I'm a recent convert from debian (forced to by management), and I'm really unimpressed. rpmfind hangs, tons of links from redhat.com are invalid (404 missing), bugzilla seems like it's not even being used, ... If this continues, I'm going back to debian and convincing others to do the same. - Steven Webb (steve)
OK. I sent you a SRPM with some changes to mrtg so that files aren't moved around after the installation of the package. Is it working for you? Tim
I copied locales_mrtg.pm from a previous mrtg version. Works so far. But you Redhat please really test RPM before they're shipped? Banana |products remind me to some company at Redmont. BTW, the bug also concerns the sparc platform. I'd assume all platforms.
I just forgot, if I understand policies right changing /etc/crontab by install script is deprecated; /etc/cron.d was invented instead.
I found the bug and a cure for it: the spec file forgets to include the files inside "translate" furthermore the whole package doesn't work cause it cant find the perl modules it needs. My cure is to move the files which are installed into "/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl" plus the files in "translate" (which are in the tarfile) into "/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/mrtg" and adding "-I /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/mrtg" to the first line in "/usr/bin/mrtg" which invokes perl. for a detailed step-by-step walk-through see the thread MRTG in the cartman mailinglist, I posted as "The Black Goeroe". Thats all folks...
OK. The problems should be resolved in mrtg-2.8.12-5 (in rawhide soon). Thanks for your help. Tim
