Package: collectd-core Version: 5.1.0-3 Severity: normal Hello maintainer,
while upgrading a system from squeeze to wheezy, I was shown the following warning (reformatted): | The layout of some RRD files created by collectd has changed since | version 4.x. In order to keep your old data you have to migrate it. | This can be done by using /usr/lib/collectd-core/utils/migrate-4-5.px. | | This step requires both the perl and the rrdtool packages to be | installed, which is currently not the case. You need to perform the | migration manually. | | See /usr/share/doc/collectd-core/NEWS.Debian and the collectd | wiki at <http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/V4_to_v5_migration_guide> | for details. Unfortunately, the script listed in that message does not exist. A quick grep shows that the path name is wrong, the path should be .../collectd/..., not .../collectd-core/...: youam@treasa:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ egrep -o '[^ ]*/migrate-4-5.px' * collectd-core.list:/usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-4-5.px collectd-core.md5sums:usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-4-5.px collectd-core.postinst:/usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-4-5.px collectd-core.templates:/usr/lib/collectd-core/utils/migrate-4-5.px collectd-core.templates:/usr/lib/collectd-core/utils/migrate-4-5.px [...] As you see, the actual script lives in </usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-4-5.px>, but the template tells the user about </usr/lib/collectd-core/utils/migrate-4-5.px>. Additionally, the linked /usr/share/doc/collectd-core/NEWS.Debian does not exist at that path, as it's compressed with gzip - but I'd need to check if there's a policy about which way to present file names for automatically compressed documentation... thanks, youam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
