I did run a "apt install monitoring-plugins-basic" on a fresh stretch
container.

The package installed without an issue.

Creating config file /etc/nagios-plugins/config/users.cfg with new version
Setcap for check_icmp and check_dhcp worked!
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-11+deb9u1) ...
root at 68e9dcd89c70:/# dpkg -S apt.cfg
monitoring-plugins-basic:
/usr/share/monitoring-plugins/templates-basic/apt.cfg
root at 68e9dcd89c70:/# ls -la /etc/nagios-plugins/config/apt*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 277 Jan 19 07:14 /etc/nagios-plugins/config/apt.cfg

So I need more information to identify/reproduce the problem.

With kind regards, Jan.
