Description of problem: The update to munin 1.4.7-3.el6 changed ownership of /var/run/munin from munin:munin to root:root. This breaks the munin cron job (/etc/cron.d/munin), as it is run as user munin, and munin-update wants to create a lock file there. Every five minutes, I got an error mail saying: Creating lock /var/run/munin/munin-update.lock failed: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Munin/Master/Update.pm line 128 Workaround is easy: just 'chown munin:munin /var/run/munin' (or the equivalent in Puppet, which is what I actually have done). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.4.7-3.el6 How reproducible: Easily. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable EPEL on CentOS 6.2 2. yum install munin-1.4.7-3.el6 3. Wait five minutes, then check the mail sent to root. Actual results: A mail is sent to root with the error message show above. Expected results: No error mail should be sent. Additional info: Presumably, the line %dir %{_localstatedir}/run/%{name}/ in the "%files common" section in the spec file should specify that the directory should be owned by user and group munin. In the 1.4.7-1 spec file, that is done in the %files section for the "munin" package, but that line was removed for 1.4.7-3, without moving the ownership setting over to the "munin-common" package.
Ugh. Sorry about this. I messed it up in my cleanup for several other bugs. ;( Will get a new batch of updates out soon... karma and testing very welcome.

I did a brief test of updating to the -4 RPMs from Koji, and saw no ill effects (i.e., that version seems to work properly). I tried upgrading both from -1 and from -3. Upgrading from -1 restored /etc/munin/plugins as intended, and in both cases I get proper ownership of /var/run/munin. (All tests performed on CentOS 6.2 x86_64 with all updates.) Thanks for the quick response!
Package munin-1.4.7-4.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing munin-1.4.7-4.fc17' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-7809/munin-1.4.7-4.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback).
Looks OK on F15, just I am not getting the update thru updates-testing. Karma added. Just a side note - would it not be wise to consider a /var/www/munin/.htaccess a config file? It rewrites my changes on every update.. I may create a separate bug for that for sure, but it probably needs some discussion.
We could. Do file another bug on it so we can get it changed.
