Package: liboping0 Version: 0.3.5-1 Severity: normal When I configure collectd to use the ping plugin in order to ping more than 3 hosts, it fails to run. When running collectd by entering
/usr/sbin/collectd -f -C /etc/collectd/collectd.conf into a root shell, collectd aborts with the following error message: collectd: liboping.c:168: ping_timeval_sub: Assertion `(res->tv_sec > 0) || ((res->tv_sec == 0) && (res->tv_usec > 0))' failed. Aborted I'm using collectd 4.4.2-3 from the stable repository. Replacing collectd by a newer version compiled from source (e.g., 4.6.3 or 4.7.1) doesn't resolve this problem. Replacing liboping0 by the current version compiled from source (1.1.2) makes collectd work as intended. Hence I think, this problem belongs to liboping0. In liboping0's changelog at http://verplant.org/liboping/, a wrong assertion is mentioned that has been fixed in 1.0.0, perhaps this is the assertion that fails in my case. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages liboping0 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries liboping0 recommends no packages. liboping0 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
