[Bug 414232] [NEW] munin-node tries to "autoconf" /usr/share/munin/plugins/postgres_space_

[Andreas Olsson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: munin

Installing munin-node 1.2.6-13ubuntu1 I receive these errors

Initializing plugins..Restarting munin-node.. * Stopping Munin-Node                                             [ OK ]

done.
 * Starting Munin-Node

It seems as if munin tries to autoconfigure the plugin postgres_space_,
which is far from optimal considering that libdbd-pg-perl is only a
Suggested package.

This is basically the same problem as was fixed in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503294. Yet somehow the
autoconf abilities for postgres_space_ specifically got activated again
somewhere between munin 1.2.6-10 and munin 1.2.6-13 (Those were the
versions I managed to find at ftp.debian.org).

Anyway, this can be fixed by modifying debian/patches/160-node.d
-postgres-plugins.patch, finding the lone line which says
"capabilities=autoconf suggest" and change that part to
"capabilities=suggest".
