Package: smokeping Version: 2.7.3-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When upgrading from stretch to buster, dyndir = /var/lib/smokeping/__cgi was added to my /etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames. This causes smokeping.cgi to look for files and directories under that __cgi directory, but since my installation predates dyndir, all of those files and directories are under datadir. This results in a bunch of errors like this in the web server error log: [Sat Oct 12 02:54:46.775961 2019] [cgi:error] [pid 1626:tid 140274202294016] [client 2606:6000:cd04:400:222:4dff:fe83:cd4a:42894] AH01215: [Sat Oct 12 02:54:46 2019] smokeping.cgi [client 2606:6000:cd04:400:222:4dff:fe83:cd4a]: Could not lock /var/lib/smokeping/__cgi//Others/ISPRouter.einstein.slave_cache (No such file or directory).

I suppose you could also move the files to dyndir. I'm not sure why this wasn't a problem when upgrading to wheezy, jessie, or stretch, since the split_config script seems to have been introduced for wheezy, and I installed smokeping on squeeze. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.1.17-x86_64-linode128 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages smokeping depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debianutils 4.8.6.1 ii fping 4.2-1 ii libcgi-fast-perl 1:2.13-1 ii libconfig-grammar-perl 1.12-2 ii libdigest-hmac-perl 1.03+dfsg-2 ii libjs-cropper 1.2.2-1 ii libjs-prototype 1.7.1-3 ii libjs-scriptaculous 1.9.0-2 ii librrds-perl 1.7.1-2 ii libsnmp-session-perl 1.14~git20130523.186a005-4 ii liburi-perl 1.76-1 ii libwww-perl 6.36-2 ii lsb-base 10.2019051400 ii perl 5.28.1-6 ii postfix [mail-transport-agent] 3.4.5-1 ii ucf 3.0038+nmu1 Versions of packages smokeping recommends: ii apache2 [httpd-cgi] 2.4.38-3+deb10u1 ii dnsutils 1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1 ii echoping 6.0.2-10 ii libsocket6-perl 0.29-1+b1 Versions of packages smokeping suggests: ii curl 7.64.0-4 pn libauthen-radius-perl <none> ii libio-socket-ssl-perl 2.060-3 ii libnet-dns-perl 1.19-1 pn libnet-ldap-perl <none> pn libnet-telnet-perl <none> ii openssh-client 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u1 -- no debconf information
