The check_ping binary looks for ping at /bin/ping. But (perhaps due to a recent change in other gentoo packages) ping now resides at /usr/bin/ping. root@sphinkpad:/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins # ./check_ping -H 192.168.43.2 -4 -w 170,170% -c 250,250% /bin/ping -4 -n -U -w 10 -c 5 192.168.43.2 CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command root@sphinkpad:/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins # which ping /usr/bin/ping Reproducible: Always
Yeah, net-misc/iputils moved it out from under us. A new version of monitoring-plugins went stable today and if you emerge that, it will pick up the correct path. Or if you had the ~arch monitoring-plugins keyworded already, just re-emerge it. The stabilization of iputils today is what caused the issue, and there's really no good way for us to trigger a rebuild of monitoring-plugins (and nagios-plugins, which has the same problem). We tried to stabilize them at the same time, but it's not foolproof.
When iputils is stable everywhere, we can add >= deps in them, I guess.
(In reply to Sam James from comment #2) > When iputils is stable everywhere, we can add >= deps in them, I guess. The ping command path is detected during package configuration: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/net-analyzer/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins-2.3.2-r1.ebuild#L77 How about we add a slot to net-misc/iputils and add DEPEND="net-misc/iputils:=" to monitoring-plugins? We would need to bump the slot in iputils when paths change.
I don't anticipate the paths changing again so a oke off revbump to >= should work
Ugh, I forgot that we don't actually depend on iputils in the ebuild right now, as we might be using another ping...
Appears to be fixed in 2.3.5
