Description Juan David Ibáñez Palomar 2012-12-24 14:24:14 UTC
There is an error in the munin plugin for mailman:

/usr/libexec/munin/plugins/mailman

The "logfile" path is wrong:

/var/log/mailman/post        # Wrong
/var/lib/mailman/logs/post   # Right

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install munin & mailman
2. Set-up the mailman plugin
3. Run "munin-run mailman"
Actual Results:  
Can't open /var/log/mailman/post.0 for reading: No such file or directory at /etc/munin/plugins/mailman line 109.

Expected Results:

Lovely, it's not configurable...

I got to fix this upstream but it worries me because it does not include an explicit license, which is not good.

Although I could probably argue that mailman is misconfigured by default if it saves logs in /var/lib — nevertheless this is a bug that has to be fixed, will try something.

Okay this should be solved in 2.0.9-r1.

The paths are now configurable, and I changed the default configuration file to point to Gentoo's default for mailman.

It works now, thanks!
