[Pkg-cacti-maint] Bug#704057: cacti: loadavg_multi.pl is not locale safe

[Stephan Seitz]

Package: cacti
Version: 0.8.8a+dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed that the Data Input Method „Unix - Get Load Average” isn’t 
working. It calls the script loadavg_multi.pl which calls uptime.

Problem: In my de_DE.UTF-8 locale the output of uptime is:
14:12:51 up 1 day,  6:35,  3 users,  load average: 0,38, 0,20, 0,17

But the load average values must have a dot instead of a comma, so the 
perl script doesn’t return values. If I change the line
	open(PROCESS, "uptime |");
in
	open(PROCESS, "env LANG=C uptime |");
the output is
14:29:37 up 1 day,  6:52,  3 users,  load average: 0.10, 0.11, 0.13
and everything is working fine.

Shade and sweet water!

	Stephan
