[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#577680: puppet: Cannot create RRD databases with librrd-ruby1.8

[martin.stern at jpberlin.de]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 0.24.5-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

i like to use the RRD reporttype of puppetmaster. /etc/puppet/puppet.conf contains:

[puppetmasterd]
...
reports        = store, log, rrdgraph
rrdgraph       = true
rrdintervall   = $runintervall

With the Ruby-RRD bindings in librrd-ruby1.8 Version 1.3.1-4 this did not work,
because librrd-ruby1.8 provides RRD.so but /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/util/metric.rb
wants RRDTools.so

This Problem also exists in puppetmaster 0.25.4-2~bpo50+1 and librrd-ruby1.8 
1.4.3-1~bpo50+1

Based in the patches under http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2891
I create the attached Patch for the Puppet version in Lenny, witch worked for
me.

The patches under the link above may be appropriate for puppet 0.25.4


Regards,
Martin
