Package: nagios-plugins-basic Version: 1.4.12-5 Severity: normal Commandline arguments -i -e and -c all cause add_to_regex() to be called, thusly causing their associated arguments to begin with ^Inst. That makes little sense, since the default regex for security updates is: ^[^\(]*\([^ ]* (Debian-Security:|Ubuntu:[^/]*/[^-]*-security)
^Inst should be handled separately from the -[iec] options, otherwise the user can cause weird things lines like /^Conf/ to be parsed (incorrectly). Either by doing another regcomp/regexec or (preferably) just strncmp(). Even using -c '.*updates.*' doesn't allow most security updates to be detected, since add_to_regex also suffixes the regex with a space. The output of apt-get -n upgrade typically has no spaces after "security|updates". It's advertized that -c may be specified multiples times. Otherwise a quck fix would be to change the parsing for that option to do just: do_critical=optarg. For the immediate future, I'm changing my local configurations to use: "-c .*". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
