Package: cacti
Version: 1.1.38+ds1-1~bpo9+1

It has come to light that there are various packages which Cacti utilises that are not up to date.  As such, these are causing issues with users not seeing the results that are expected with things like Graphs, Charts, etc.  A specific issue was found where a user was complaining that a Cacti third party plugin was not working properly and it appears that their Chart.js file was symlink'd to a v1.0.2 version provided by a package that is woefully outdated.

The following are some of the dependancies that seem to be out of date:

1.1.38
—
libjs-C3: 0.4.11+dfsg-2 < 0.4.21
libjs-D3: 3.5.17-2 < 4.13.0
libjs-chartjs: 1.0.2 < 2.7.2

For the upcoming 1.2.0 release, these are updated again to the following versions:

1.2.0
—
libjs-C3: 0.4.11+dfsg-2 < 0.6.8
libjs-D3: 3.5.17-2 < 5.7.0
libjs-chartjs: 1.0.2 < 2.7.3

The other package dependancies should probably also be checked since they could also cause issues.

Thanks,

Mark.
