That change supposedly went into 1.2.26 and indeed I see it in the 
Debian package currently in stable: 1.2.30+ds1-1: 
https://sources.debian.org/src/cacti/1.2.30%2Bds1-1/install/upgrades/1_0_5.php

Can you show the difference between your downloaded file and the original.

I didn't change the file, so if it's different than needed, it's a delta 
that's already present in the upstream tar ball.

I don't understand how the situation you describe could have happened.
