Bug 294722 – net-analyzer/munin-1.3.4-r2 : Due to a typo in /usr/libexec/munin/plugins/ping_ it is not possible to ping IPv6-addresses

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matthias Maier 2009-11-26 14:56:49 UTC]

Due to a typo in /usr/libexec/munin/plugins/ping_ it is not possible for munin-node to ping an IPv6-addresses.

The last line should read "${PING:-ping} ...", not "${ping:-ping} ...".

See attached diff.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install net-analyzer/munin
2. Create a symlink for pinging IPv6-hosts in /etc/munin/plugins , e.g.
  ping6_gw-3207.ham-01.de.sixxs.net -> /usr/libexec/munin/plugins/ping_
3. start /etc/init.d/munin-node

Actual Results:  
Pinging fails.

Expected Results:  
Pinging should succeed so that a nice graph can be plotted.

Matthias, I see this same logic error in 1.4.3. Can you submit the report upstream at: http://munin.projects.linpro.no/report and then leave a reference here? Your help in this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you! It makes our jobs easier :) I've included your fix into 1.4.3 in the tree.
