Bug Description
Upgraded system from 14.04 LTS to 16.04.1 LTS.
As a result, the rrd pool size graphs stopped displaying, instead showing "default image" icons.
Investigation has shown that this is due to the permissions conflict. Whatever user executes backuppc/index.cgi cannot run /usr/bin/rrdtool.
The fix is as per https:/
Namely, here's a relevant code snapshot in /usr/share/
$In{image} =~ /([0-9]+)/;
my $weeks = $1;
my $real = $<;# NEW
$< = $>; # NEW
print "Content-type: image/png\n\n";
print `/usr/bin/rrdtool graph - --imgformat=PNG --start=
$< = $real; # NEW
return;
