[Bug 1018693] Re: Please backport cacti 0.8.8a-3 (universe) from quantal to precise.

[Paul Gevers]

I have finally found the time to start up my cacti test environment, and
confirm that at least TWO soft links are needed for several plug-ins to
work.

/usr/local/share/cacti/include -> /usr/share/cacti/site/include 
/usr/local/share/cacti/lib -> /usr/share/cacti/site/lib 

Unfortunately, I have not found an way yet (allowed by Debian policy) to
create these links in the package itself. I am considering to put this
information in the README.Debian file, but believe that quite a lot of
people won't find it there.

The problem is that several plug-ins are using php chdir(../../) to move
down the tree, but the php implementation of chdir resolves symlinks
[1], so in the end the plug-in can not find the include and lib
directory. So the solution is in rewriting the plug-ins.

@ Brian Jensen,  can you test if adding the second soft link to the
/usr/local/share/cacti directory solves your problems?
