Where did you get this from? This isn't a 16.04 Ubuntu package.

Thanks for debugging this. I'll fix it in the cacti package soon (but
only in artful and Debian unstable) and I'll report the issue upstream.

Hmm, that is weird, as it is clearly listed in the list of cacti files¹
(it is a symlink though).

Because this bug only expresses itself when one uses the cacti package
with a MariaDB server 10.2.4 or higher (which isn't even in Ubuntu yet
AFAICT), I don't think the bug warrants fixing in older Ubuntu releases.
If you still want to get this fixed, you can follow the backport procedure².
