But your template.d dir was empty?

Yes... I can't tell easily if this changes the behaviour of PHP's
glob()... that's a production system and I simply upgrade libc for a
test...

No I guess not... I'm not even sure whether this justifies the need for
a breaks or something like this.

I mean I'm fully aware that this mixed setup is not officially
supported ... but it may reveal problem with dependencies that could hit
people during ugpgrades... not in that case it's not really
problematic... because it would be only a short "failure" of
PNP4nagios-web during the upgrade.
