[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#867256: monitoring-plugins-basic: fails to install: Error: The new file apt.cfg does not exist!

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: monitoring-plugins-basic
Version: 2.2-3
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + nagios-nrpe-server

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
