Description Roy-Magne Mo 2006-07-23 21:59:10 EDT

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:
You'll find that debian has a similar approach at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-nagios-devel/2005-September/001035.html

Comment 2 Mike McGrath 2006-07-23 22:06:24 EDT

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 2006-07-23 22:13:26 EDT

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

Comment 4 Mike McGrath 2006-07-23 22:18:06 EDT

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.
