Module: check_mk Branch: master Commit: a0e3be0b982280a356f81b1e0b66f107ce76f9ef URL: http://git.mathias-kettner.de/git/?p=check_mk.git;a=commit;h=a0e3be0b982280… Author: Lars Michelsen <lm(a)mathias-kettner.de> Date: Tue Jul 10 12:20:26 2018 +0200 6340 FIX Fixed debian agent package incompatibilities The debian agent package shipped with Check_MK (located in share/check_mk/agent/*.deb) was not compatible with older Debian/Ubuntu version because it used xz as compression algorithm for the control files. When trying to install such a package an error like this occurred: dpkg-deb: error: archive 'check-mk-agent_1.4.0p34-1_all.deb' contains not understood data member control.tar.xz, giving up We have now changed the compression of the whole package to gzip which should make the package compatible to such systems again.
