Package: nagios-plugins-basic
Version: 1.4.12-4
Severity: normal
To be honest, I did not check the sources in detail. However, check_ntp
reports errors at least on some locale settings.
How to repeat:
$ echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -4 -H 1.debian.pool.ntp.org -w 0.2 -c 0.5
NTP CRITICAL: Offset 0,001548523083 secs|offset=0,001549s;0,000000;0,000000;
$
$ LANG=C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -4 -H 1.debian.pool.ntp.org -w 0.2
-c 0.5
NTP OK: Offset 0.003710093675 secs|offset=0.003710s;0.200000;0.500000;
$
Quick'n'dirty workaround: Add "export LANG=C" somewhere in the beginning
of /etc/init.d/nagios3

Well with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 0.2 is not a number so what's after the '.'
is not considered AFAICS.
So if you want to use it with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 you should use 0,2.

This only confirms above.

That would only break locale settings. If you don't want to use German
numbers, then just make sure you don't use a German locale.
Working around the environment is only breaking things IMHO, so closing
this bug.
