mrtg-traffic-sum is not installed

[Todd Vierling]

mrtg has included a cumulative-value calculation script, bin/mrtg-traffic-sum, which is documented on MRTG's homepage but isn't installed by the Ubuntu package for some reason. The script has been around for >10 years; it should be installed by default.

This is true of all current versions of MRTG as shipped in Precise, Trusty, and later releases. The script works fine in my testing and simply needs to be installed as-is.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have the same problem. After installing the mrtg package on a fresh Ubuntu 15.04 install, I am missing the mrtg-traffic-sum script so my monthly stat summary script is failing.

[Todd Vierling (duh)]

The attached patch is a trivial one-liner to debian/rules and fixes installation of this file. The diff is against mrtg_2.17.4-2ubuntu2 (Trusty and later) but likely applies as-is to mrtg-2.17.3-* as shipped in Precise as well.

A temporarily fixed version of this package for Trusty and later is currently in my PPA using the above patch:

Hi Todd,

Currently, mrtg-traffic-sum is present in Debian and Ubuntu. Consequently, I am closing this bug.
