Package: cacti Version: 0.8.6c-7 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 9.1.1
The data files used by cacti are stored in /usr/share/cacti/ which is defined to be mounted READ-ONLY. This make cacti unuseable in some servers. Thoses files have to be put in /var tree, conformly with the FHS. /usr/share cannot contain any writeable data. Chapter 4 of the FHS : /usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various hosts running FHS-compliant and should not be written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere. The cacti RRD have to be put on /var/lib/cacti instead of /usr/share/cacti. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-1-386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages cacti depends on: ii apache 1.3.33-3 versatile, high-performance HTTP s ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libphp-adodb 4.52-1 The 'adodb' database abstraction l ii logrotate 3.7-2 Log rotation utility ii mysql-client 4.0.23-7 mysql database client binaries ii php4 4:4.3.10-2 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php4-cli 4:4.3.10-10 command-line interpreter for the p ii php4-mysql 4:4.3.10-10 MySQL module for php4 ii php4-snmp 4:4.3.10-10 SNMP module for php4 ii rrdtool 1.0.49-1 Time-series data storage and displ ii snmp 5.1.2-6.1 NET SNMP (Simple Network Managemen ii ucf 1.17 Update Configuration File: preserv -- debconf information: * cacti/confirm: (password omitted) * cacti/root_password: (password omitted) * cacti/password: (password omitted) * cacti/username: cacti cacti/poller_name: /usr/share/cacti/cmd.php * cacti/mysql_server: localhost * cacti/webserver: Apache * cacti/save_rootpw: true * cacti/dump_location: /var/cache/cacti/dumps cacti/default-poller: cacti cacti/upgrade_warning: * cacti/root_mysql: root * cacti/no_automagic: cacti/no_mysql: false * cacti/purge_db: true cacti/no_mysql_message: * cacti/database: cacti cacti/mismatch: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
