Mistakes happen :) fair enough, though i'd suggest that a reasonably large percentage of debian-based computers that run munin-node do have some sort of hard drive these days ;) flash drives and virtual machines dont. Would you accept a rewrite of smart_ in perl or shell if someone was able to carve out the time to do it (no promises!)? sure. though I'd recommend to submit it upstream :-) Thanks again for keeping munin in good shape. :-) regards, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Bug#551128: munin-node should Recommend: python
Package: munin-node Version: 1.2.6-10~lenny1 munin-node normally does autoconfiguration of its plugins after package installation. Most users probably want this behavior. On a lenny system, if python is not installed, the 'initializing plugins' phase of package configuration terminates with: # Got junk from smart_: /usr/bin/env: python: No such file or directory failed. Either the plugin configuration script should be smart enough to not fail on plugins for which the interpreter is missing (allowing all other plugin configuration to succeed), or the package itself should at least move python from Suggests: to Recommends: as it is expected for use in most installations of munin-node.
