Mrtg's html documentation lacks two images

[Christian Reis]

If you view the mrtg html documentation you'll notice that it generates two 404s in /usr/share/doc/mrtg/html/:

  imgdot-1x1-transp-ffffff.gif
  mrtg-ti.png

Those should be added to the package.

mrtg-ti.png seems to have been included, but I can't seem to find any html pages ... I can't see that imgdot*.gif file either...

[Barry deFreese (bddebian)]

I agree with Vassilis. It would be easy to add mrtg-ti.png as it already exists but I can't find imgdot* or anything close, nor do I see any mention of anything named like that in the source packages. To his point, I also don't see any html documentation. How are you invoking this?

Thank you.

The HTML docs I have are installed into /usr/share/doc/mrtg/html. I'm not sure how this is exposed traditionally to the web but I added a symlink to iit from a web-available directory. I'm talking about Dapper MRTG: 2.12.2-1. I'm not sure if these docs are still in Feisty.

Interestingly enough a mrtg-ti.png file is indeed included in the distribution in /var/www/mrtg, but it's not available in the HTML docs directory (where a .gif file exists). This seems to be a bit of a mess!

I have no idea where that image is supposed to be found, but:

I see a uuencoded copy is attached to unrelated message http://groups.google.com/group/comp.dcom.net-management/msg/79f10e72fe1009af

I'm not the first to encounter this:
