Daemon startup should imho fail so that people actually notice. Else, you'll be left with a running daemon that does not behave as expected / configured. That said, I'd be happy if we could improve the overall situation. It keeps coming up but I don't have a good idea for how to solve it yet :-/ Cheers, Sebastian -- Sebastian "tokkee" Harl +++ GnuPG-ID: 0x2F1FFCC7 +++ http://tokkee.org/ Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The configuration file shipped with the collectd package only loads these plugins by default: marc@lonquimay:~/src/pkg-collectd/debian$ grep ^LoadPlugin collectd.conf LoadPlugin syslog LoadPlugin battery LoadPlugin cpu LoadPlugin df LoadPlugin disk LoadPlugin entropy LoadPlugin interface LoadPlugin irq LoadPlugin load LoadPlugin memory LoadPlugin processes LoadPlugin rrdtool LoadPlugin swap LoadPlugin users None of them depend on libsensors4 or liboping0 (the sensors and ping plugins do, but they aren't enabled by default). So my guess is that this system previously had a non-default configuration (maybe some config snippets in /etc/collectd/collectd.conf.d/ ?) in place, and installing/upgrading collectd-core made the missing runtime dependencies strike out. Are you able to confirm ? NB: I agree such a failure is undesirable. The collectd plugin loading mechanism could maybe be changed to not abort startup in this case (just skip loading the plugin and emit an error message). > Manual installation of libsensors4 liboping0 solved the issue. > > When a package won't complete it's installation without a > package, it should be a requirement, not anything less. > > Probably an issue with the debian packages as well. Are you aware of /usr/share/doc/collectd-core/README.Debian.plugins.gz ? Cheers, Marc

Package: collectd-core Version: 5.7.0-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, Installation of collectd fails on the start of the package. The package misses files from libsensors4 liboping0, but these packages are only recommended or even suggested. Manual installation of libsensors4 liboping0 solved the issue. When a package won't complete it's installation without a package, it should be a requirement, not anything less. Probably an issue with the debian packages as well. -- System Information: Distributor ID: Raspbian Description:Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.0 (stretch) Release:9.0 Codename: stretch Architecture: armv7l Kernel: Linux 4.4.34-v7+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.ISO8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages collectd-core depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.59 ii init-system-helpers1.46 ii libc6 2.24-8+rpi1 ii libcap21:2.25-1 ii libltdl7 2.4.6-2 ii lsb-base 9.20161125+rpi1 Versions of packages collectd-core recommends: ii perl 5.24.1~rc4-1 pn rrdtool Versions of packages collectd-core suggests: ii apache2 [httpd-cgi] 2.4.25-1 pn apcupsd ii bind9 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-10.1 pn ceph pn chrony pn collectd-dev pn default-jre-headless pn default-mysql-server pn gpsd pn hddtemp ii iptables1.6.0+snapshot20161117-4 pn ipvsadm pn libatasmart4 pn libconfig-general-perl ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.51.0-1 ii libdbi1 0.9.0-4 pn libesmtp6 pn libganglia1 ii libgcrypt20 1.7.5-2 pn libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 ii libglib2.0-02.50.2-2 pn libgps22 pn libhiredis0.13 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3 ii libip4tc0 1.6.0+snapshot20161117-4 ii libip6tc0 1.6.0+snapshot20161117-4 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.44+dfsg-3 pn liblua5.3-0 pn liblvm2app2.2 ii libmariadbclient18 10.0.28-2+b1 pn libmemcached11 pn libmicrohttpd12 ii libmnl0 1.0.4-2 pn libmodbus5 pn libmosquitto1 pn libnotify4 pn libnspr4 pn libnss3 pn libopenipmi0 pn liboping0 pn libowcapi-3.1-4 pn libpcap0.8 ii libperl5.24 5.24.1~rc4-1 ii libpq5 9.6.1-2 pn libprotobuf-c1 ii libpython2.72.7.13-1 pn librabbitmq4 pn librdkafka1 pn libregexp-common-perl pn libriemann-client0 ii librrd8 1.6.0-1+b1 ii librrds-perl1.6.0-1+b1 pn libsensors4 pn libsigrok2 pn libsnmp30 ii libssl1.1 1.1.0c-2 pn libtokyotyrant3 ii libudev1232-8 pn libupsclient4 ii liburi-perl 1.71-1 pn libvarnishapi1 pn libvirt0 pn libxen-4.6 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.1 ii libyajl22.1.0-2 pn lm-sensors pn mbmon pn memcached pn nginx pn notification-daemon pn nut pn olsrd pn openvpn pn pdns-server pn postgresql pn redis-server pn slapd pn time-daemon pn varnish ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-4 pn zookeeper -- debconf information: collectd/auto-migrate-3-4: false collectd/migration-4-5: collectd/migration-3-4: collectd/auto-migrate-4-5: false collectd/postrm_purge_data: true
