Package: nagios3-common
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
installation of the normal nagios3-common package from apt returns error:
chown: cannot access `/var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults': No such file
or directory
dpkg: error processing nagios3-common (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
nagios3-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This is because the package doesn't create directory
/var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults
at all. It does however create /var/lib/nagios3/checkresults.
The post-inst script does:
setperm nagios nagios 0750 /var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults
which results in error. So you either change this to path
/var/lib/nagios3/checkresults which
already exists (but also remember about the change in nagios.cfg) or create
/var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults directory.
