[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#780098: patches to fix several issues with nagios plugin script dsa-check-running-kernel

[Jonas Meurer]

Hi DSA and Debian Nagios maintainers,

please find attached patches that fix three issues with your nagios 
plugin
script 'dsa-check-running-kernel', respectively 'check_running_kernel' 
in
Debian package nagios-plugins-contrib:

1/ detect missing filter (e.g. xzcat) and warn about it. (fixes #780098)
2/ enhance sed regex on on_disk_version for vendor != Debian. Fixes 
kernel
    detection on Ubuntu installations.
3/ iterate over all installed kernels that are either equal to or have a
    newer timestamp than running kernel. Fixes detection of newer kernels
    for new kernel releases, e.g. in Debian unstable, Debian testing.
    Additionally fixes kernel update detection on distros that have a
    different policy regarding kernel security updates and install a new
    kernel file at every update, like Red Hat based distros.

All patches are against head (a3a621a387886e12a23fcf3d1c0837b7a5a5db14) 
of
git repository https://db.debian.org/git/dsa-nagios.git.

Cheers,
  jonas
