Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
apt-get install cacti
which I performed a few hours ago.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
After the installation, the cacti installer stated the following
error message and won't proceed.
Determining localhost credentials from /etc/mysql/debian.cnf: succeeded.
dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/cacti.conf

Running cli/upgrade_database.php as part of package update...
You are attempting to install cacti 1.2.2 onto a 0.6.x database.
To continue, you must create a new database, import 'cacti.sql' into it,
and update 'include/config.php' to point to the new database.
I tried a few things. But the installer repeated stated that
You are attempting to install cacti 1.2.2 onto a 0.6.x database.
...
even if
- I removed the package (get-apt remove cacti)
and RECREATE the database cacti on the fly during the installation.
At this stage http://MYHOST/cacti/ returns an error message to
the tune of
make sure php data module is installed property,
database is created, etc.
- Or create a database 'cactinew', and edited config.php (in this
case, and run dpkg-reconfigure cacti, the web response changes to
Not Found
The requested URL /cacti/ was not found on this server.

This I think is the failure of cacti package. It seems to miss a
post-inst file or something.
See the log snippet below.
I created a database ('root' user), and I modified the
following files to accommodate the user and database names.
vi /etc/cacti/debian.php
vi /usr/share/cacti/site/include/config.php
Note the error during dpkg-reconfigure cacti: the log says
dbconfig-generate-include: not found

/usr/share/doc/cacti/cacti.sql

I cannot get out of this cycle.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Failed installation of cacti.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the URL https://HOST/cacti to return cacti
installation page.
