Public bug reported:

Hi

It doesn't appear that 0.8.7i is officially packaged for any production
release of Ubuntu. It was released in Dec 2011.

Release notes:
http://www.cacti.net/release_notes_0_8_7i.php
http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=45871

Important Security Fixes
* SQL injection issues
* Cross-site scripting issues

In addition the Plugin Architecture (PIA) patch is provided in a new source 
code release, as noted here:
* http://www.cacti.net/download_cacti.php

Previously, PIA had to be manually patched. PIA provides added useful
functionality including Threshold reporting.


Interestingly, the EPEL repo for Redhat/Fedora has released 0.8.7i but it is 
without the PIA. They are treating Cacti+PIA as a fork:

Thanks
