Status in “collectd” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released
Status in “collectd” source package in Lucid: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: collectd

when trying to access local files with curl based collectd plugins (like json), an error is created and the monitoring cannot be done.
The error in the daemon log is "curl_json plugin: curl_easy_perform failed with response code 0 (file:///var/foo/bar/file.json)"

A fix is available in collectd 4.9, and I think it would be nice to have it in lucid. The fix is http://git.verplant.org/?p=collectd.git;a=commitdiff;h=74ba45134a428c971bc9274b17e8d8bd210156e3
