[Bug 1000678] Re: [SRU] munin-memory plugin doesn't work on 64-bit 12.04 LTS

[James Page]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  munin-memory plugin doesn't work on 64-bit 12.04 LTS.  This prevents munin from collecting memory usage data.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ sudo apt-get install munin apache2 munin-node
+ (cd /etc/munin/plugins &&  sudo ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/memory .)
+ sudo service munin-node restart
+ (cd /etc/apache2/conf.d && sudo ln -s /etc/munin/apache2.conf .)
+ Error in log file /var/log/munin/munin-node.log:
+ 2012/05/21-16:25:31 [13645] Error output from memory:
+ 2012/05/21-16:25:31 [13645]     Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated at /etc/munin/plugins/memory line 189.
+ 
  
  [Development Fix]
  Cherry picked patch from upstream VCS - http://munin-monitoring.org/changeset/4358.
  
  [Stable Fix]
  Same as development fix
  
  [Regression Potential]
  None, the plugin is broken and changes are limited to this plugin only.
  Fix accepted upstream.
  
  [Original Bug Report]
  The error is on line 189, it gives this message which stops munin from being able to collect data:
  
  Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated at ./memory line 189.
  
  Line 189 is as follows:
  
  or my $field qw(apps buffers swap cached free slab swap_cache
  page_tables vmalloc_used committed mapped active active_anon
  active_cache inactive inact_dirty inact_laundry inact_clean) {
  
  And needs to be changed to:
  
  or my $field (qw(apps buffers swap cached free slab swap_cache
  page_tables vmalloc_used committed mapped active active_anon
  active_cache inactive inact_dirty inact_laundry inact_clean)) {
  
  After this change it functions fine.
