Package: munin-node
Version: 2.0.6-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
When called as the cron-job configured in /etc/cron.d/munin the apt_all
plugin is called as user root with
the state file /var/lib/munin-node/plugin-state/root/plugin-apt.state, but
the plugin itself when called by munin-run uses the state file
/var/lib/munin-node/plugin-state/nobody/plugin-apt.state and thus always
reports the same information.
Possible solutions:
* Add
[apt_all]
user root
to /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node to make the plugin run as root; not
very nice since it doesn't need elevated permissions.
* Change the default state file to
/var/lib/munin-node/plugin-state/nobody/plugin-apt.state
Not entirely sure if this breaks anything, but the default was implemented
for the
cron-job

so it should propably be safe. Patch is at
