But that's beyond Icinga's scope. Thanks for responding. Maybe it's good that Simon tell us if your Debian package is provided by the Debian development team. In my particular case, the package is from the repository of snapshots of Icinga: # grep icinga /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://packages.icinga.org/debian icinga-wheezy-snapshots main deb-src http://packages.icinga.org/debian icinga-wheezy-snapshots main # aptitude show icinga-web | grep -i versión Versión: 1.11.2~icingasnap201408210748.6f5a430~wheezy-0 Best regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ icinga-users mailing list icinga-users@lists.icinga.org https://lists.icinga.org/mailman/listinfo/icinga-users
