Hi, > I want to raise some concern about the quality of the nagios-text > package in testing. There are a number of bug reports (at least > #239174, #257702, and #265467) that are fixed with the suggestion > mentioned in #239174. I also see that Madarasz Gergely has made > a suggestion about this bug in the changelog of #257702. As the submitter of the mentioned suggestion: It does not really fix #239174 (I'm CCing the bug to clarify), it just seemed that way for a moment, when I submitted my mail. The initscripts works sometimes, hence my mistake. However it really fixes state retention and the extentended hostinfos. IIRC the bug was introduced by nagios-mysql/-pgsql fixes, so my suggestion needs testing by users of nagios-*sql. > I just want to ask around on this list if there is absolutely no > way around this ?

Check again, it does not fix the initscript problem, but I think there was an NMU fixing this issue and your patch looks like it could fix it, too. P.S.: I'd like to ITP nsc (Nagios Console Monitor) and would need a sponsor using nagios-text for that as I'm not a Debian developer. If there's someone who'd like to sponsor, please contact me.
