[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#713839: nagios-plugins: check-rpc is using the wrong rpcinfo path.

[Russell Sim]

Package: nagios-plugins
Version: 1.4.16-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

In the debian rules file it seems that the wrong path for rpcinfo is being
used.  It produces messages like:

"Can't exec "/usr/bin/rpcinfo": No such file or directory

This problem appeared in Ubuntu [0] and was dealt with in svn [1] but it seems
to affect the debian package too.

Thanks,
Russell

Error details
