new nagios plugins version"2.4.0"

old nagios core version = "2.4.6"
new nagios core version = "2.4.7"

after finishing installation, web GUI warns

Hi Wilnar,

There was an issue in Nagios Core 4.4.7 where the update check was causing a crash on some distributions.

There are two options that should work pretty well for you:

1) Nagios Core 4.4.8 was released a couple of days ago, which shouldn't ever crash during the update check. You're welcome to try upgrading directly to that version.

2) If you'd really prefer to stay on Core 4.4.7, one known-good workaround is to disable update checks for the moment, i.e. go into nagios.cfg and set check_for_updates to 0.

Let me know if those options don't work or if you have any other concerns.

Nagios Core: 4.4.7

It was running fine up to this afternoon when I updated from 4.4.6. I have tried rebooting as well with no success.

The main omegle.2yu.co web page loads, but complains it can't get the process status. When I check the status on the server:

I found I was running into the same bug. Disabling the update check fixed it on 4.4.7. Reverted my VM to before 4.4.7 and tried upgrading directly to 4.4.8 and had the same issue. Disabled update checking on 4.4.8 and it fixed it there to. I don't think this bug is fixed yet.

I also had this error recently after upgrading to 4.4.7 on Ubuntu 20.04.4. I can confirm that check_for_updates=0 in nagios.cfg fixes this for me.
