Bug Description
Binary package hint: backuppc
When installing backuppc in a new debootstrapped environment, It does not show the pool size graphics at the status page.
To enable them, you need to manually install the package rrdtool.
I would not add the dependency to the (hard) Depends clause but to the Suggests or Recommends because not everybody may want to install 9M of dependencies (22M uncompressed; X and font libraries) just to enable these two charts. But for those looking for a solution for their broken graphics it should be included somewhere in the control file.
Package: backuppc
Version: 3.1.0-9ubuntu1
Linux 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Reproduce:
- debootstrap
- chroot
- apt-get install backuppc
- browser: status page: Graphics not visible (broken graphics symbol in firefox)
- apt-get install rrdtool
- browser: status page: Graphics visible
Changed in backuppc (Ubuntu): | |
importance: | Undecided → Low |
status: | New → Triaged |
Another way might be to modify /usr/share/ backuppc/ lib/BackupPC/ CGI/GeneralInfo .pm in a way that it produces a useable error message if there is no /usr/bin/rrdtool binary.
