--- Begin Message ---Package: mrtg Version: 2.17.4-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? apt-get install mrtg * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? 1 No /var/www/mrtg directory was created 2 No mrtg.cfg file was created ANYWHERE 3 No cronjob was added, i.e. no /etc/cron.d/mrtg file * What outcome did you expect instead? All of the above should have been created. A directory /usr/share/mrtg was created which contains png files. So maybe instead of (1), a file should have been added to apache conf.d directory? I had previously installed the mrtg before on the same server before, and then uninstalled it. I'm almost sure the first time it did work as expected (which is why I expected it, besides because all the tutorials out there tell you that is what's going to happe) Did I dream it? Am I confusing with cacti installation? Anyway, what's sure is that apt-get mrtg does not result in a working installation nor does it give you hints of the missing steps. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.6 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mrtg depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u6 ii libgd2-xpm 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-6.1 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-1 ii libsnmp-session-perl 1.13-1.1~deb7u1 ii perl 5.14.2-21+deb7u2 ii perl-modules 5.14.2-21+deb7u2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 mrtg recommends no packages.

I got a lintian "error" after my actions: E: mrtg: dir-or-file-in-var-www var/www/html/mrtg/ "Debian packages should not install files under /var/www. This is not one of the /var directories in the File Hierarchy Standard and is under the control of the local administrator. Packages should not assume that it is the document root for a web server; it is very common for users to change the default document root and packages should not assume that users will keep any particular setting." I am closing this bug. Thanks.
