You're right. Since nagios3 is removed from unstable, I decided to port patches from 3.4.1-3+deb7u2 and 3.4.1-3+deb7u3 updates to wheezy-backports, which was pretty straight-forward. > I don't think we can safely update the wheezy-security version to the > backport as there are what seems to me to be API-breaking changes > between -3 and -5...

I added an entry to NEWS in 3.4.1-5~bpo7+2 that recommends to downgrade nagios3 on wheezy installations to 3.4.1-3+deb7u3 from wheezy-security: nagios3 (3.4.1-5~bpo7+2.1) wheezy-security; urgency=medium Please consider downgrading your nagios3 packages to version 3.4.1-3+deb7u3 from wheezy-security (maintained by the Debian LTS team) in order to receive future security updates. This nagios3 wheezy backport is not actively maintained anymore. -- Jonas Meurer <m...@debian.org> Sat, 24 Dec 2016 14:34:08 +0100 Thanks for checking and notifying me. Cheers, jonas
