Just FYI, in case anybody is using EPEL as the RPM repository for their Nagios
installation, be forewarned, updating "nagios-plugins" will remove your Nagios
plugins.  You have to install "nagios-plugins-all" to put them back.

Subject: Nagios-plugins packaging change broke my Nagios (plugins
moved out of "nagios-plugins" to "nagios-plugins-all")
To: Community support for Fedora users <[email protected]>


Wow.  When I ran "yum update" recently on my Nagios server, it broke
our Nagios, as nagios plugins used to be in "nagios-plugins" package
but now it's just a stub, and the nagios plugins are packaged individually.

I fixed it with installing "nagios-plugins-all".

I am sure there was a reason for the packaging change but it was not
implemented gracefully...  Wouldn't it have been better to deprecate the
nagios-plugins package and stop updating it rather than replacing it
with a stub that effectively broke a working Nagios installation?

If this is not the right forum, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks!
Aleksey
