[Bug 669808] [NEW] Nagios3 checks not scheduled after clocks change from DST

[Chris May]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nagios3

http://labs.opsview.com/2009/10/nagios-scheduling-bug/ describes a bug
which we also encountered on nagios 3.2 in lucid. After the clocks are
set back 1 hour for Daylight Saving Time (last weekend, in the UK),
nagios fails to schedule any service checks for the next 24 hours.
Manually rescheduling a check causes that check to start being checked
properly again.

I believe this was fixed in nagios v 3.2.2; the changelog
(http://www.nagios.org/projects/nagioscore/history/core-3x) includes
"Fix for choosing next valid time on day of DST change when clocks go
one hour backwards". However I can't find a corresponding bug in
nagios's bugtracker.

Would it be possible to apply the same patch to the 3.2.0 source in
Lucid? Or failing that, consider upgrading to 3.2.2 in some future
release of Ubuntu, to avoid this problem?
