[Pkg-cacti-maint] Bug#913385: Cacti Package Dependancy Issues

[Mark Brugnoli-Vinten]

I believe the issue is present in previous versions since the intropage plugin can be used on earlier versions. I would have to double check what core features or any of our plugins use those three items but given that a plugin can come from anywhere and developers will most likely build against Cacti from GitHub sources rather than packages, this could affect any number of plugins that are out there that I wouldn’t know about. 

Obviously minor variations in package versions sometimes happen but as long as they are close to the one we have it will likely be only minor bugs that are unlikely to affect us. Major ones will be an issue since that can be whole functionality missing or changed.
