mon daemon can't find unistd_32.ph

[Jeroen Hensing]

Our mon daemon (which we use for diskspace checking) suddenly can't find unistd_32.ph.
I't happened since the latest apt-get dist-upgrade which updated the following:
 libarchive-tar-perl (1.36-1ubuntu0.1) hardy-security; urgency=low
 perl (5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3) hardy-security; urgency=low

mon daemon used was latest version (as per http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mon ).
locate unistd_32.ph does not give any locations.
strace attached (-efile).

We're running Hardy:
 # uname -a
 Linux web1 2.6.24-22-server #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 19:14:19 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

If any other info is needed, let me know.

actual syslog error:

Is this bug still present in mon-1.2.0 ?

[Jeroen Hensing (hensing)]

In the process of deprecating the server where we had mon running, mon was already deinstalled when I just checked.
I've checked our other servers but they don't have anything like the predescribed syslog error.
Sorry I can't be of more help, if nobody else is coming across this bug, maybe it was just a fluke on our side.

Thanks for your quick answer Marduk.

This bug was a regresion in perl package solved long ago.

Cheers
