Bug Description

Binary package hint: collectd

when trying to access local files with curl based collectd plugins (like json), an error is created and the monitoring cannot be done.
The error in the daemon log is "curl_json plugin: curl_easy_perform failed with response code 0 (file:///var/foo/bar/file.json)"

A fix is available in collectd 4.9, and I think it would be nice to have it in lucid. The fix is http://git.verplant.org/?p=collectd.git;a=commitdiff;h=74ba45134a428c971bc9274b17e8d8bd210156e3

TEST CASE:
Modify /etc/collectd/collectd.conf and add for instance:
<Plugin curl_json>
  <URL "file:///var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/stats.json">
    Instance "bittorrent"

    <Key "downloaded-bytes">
      Type "bt_bytes"
    </Key>

    <Key "uploaded-bytes">
      Type "bt_bytes"
    </Key>
  </URL>
</Plugin>

restart collectd

You'll see the error "curl_json plugin: curl_easy_perform failed with response code 0 (file:///var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/stats.json)" in the log file daemon.log

Can you use the version number scheme outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update%20the%20packaging

and target it at lucid-proposed instead of lucid.

Otherwise, looks good.

Accepted collectd into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hi Martin

SRU verification for Lucid:
I have reproduced the problem with collectd 4.8.2-1 in lucid and have verified that the version of collectd 4.8.2-1ubuntu0.1 in -proposed fixes the issue.

Marking as verification-done
