I am running Debian, mostly testing and some unstable. I installed
nagios from testing, and most of it was working. I was having problems
with status, as documented here:
<http://wiki.tryphon.org/LinuxWiki/NagiosInstall>
Those patches appeared to resolve the problem. I remain confused why
Debian does not show a bug against this:
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=nagios-mysql>
I was going to write the maintainer, when I noticed that unstable has a
newer version:
# apt-cache policy nagios-mysql
nagios-mysql:
Installed: 2:1.2-3.1
Candidate: 2:1.2-3.1
Version Table:
*** 2:1.2-3.1 0
500 http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2:1.1-11 0
990 http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu testing/main Packages
2:1.0-4.bunk 0
500 http://www.fs.tum.de woody/bunk-1/main Packages
So, I upgraded to that version, which resulted in the five (5) crucial
definition errors documented below. I _purged_ the entire package, and
installed unstable from scratch -- same problem:
# sudo /usr/sbin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
Nagios 1.2

I made certain that the configuration files were the same between

Where do I go from here? What am I missing?

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much
