Nagios problems on Debian after dist-upgrade

Post by molla »

Dear All.

I have done an OS dist-upgrade to Debian Wheezy, my nagios core version was on 3.2.1, and now it has upgraded to version 3.4.1, and it is throwing all sorts of errors. One baffling one is below. Please help me someone.

======
Warning: Duplicate definition found for contact 'sysadmin' (config file '/etc/nagios3/conf.d/contacts.cfg', starting on line 5)
Error: Could not add object property in file '/etc/nagios3/conf.d/contacts.cfg' on line 6.
Error processing object config files!


***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

errors in config! ... failed!
failed!
======

Would very much appreciate some help. Thank you.
