/usr/lib/nagios/plugins is now empty (i goofed) [Solved]

[bsfez]

Hello,

I goofed... bouhhh.

I've made some cleanup to keep only nagios 3.2.1 installed on my server.
I have accidentally deleted files in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/

It show now:

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ls -l
total 24
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21800 Sep 4 2009 check_nrpe

And when i start nagios3

/etc/init.d/nagios3 start
Starting nagios3 monitoring daemon: nagios3eval: 1: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios: not found

I tried to reinstall the plugins (apt-get install --reinstall nagios-plugins) doesn't help.

Pleaaazzeee...

The file /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios is provided by the package nagios-plugins-basic. Try 'apt-get install --reinstall nagios-plugins' instead. (For future reference, you can search for files in packages with 'apt-file search <filename>', regardless of whether or not those files exist on your drive or you have the package installed. You will probably need to install apt-file first though.)

As i mention, i tried this already and didn't help.

You specified the wrong package name though, which is why I put basic in bold letters.

Tks i misread.

Arf... Something were wrong in my source.list !! (when things don't want to go smooth...).

Things back to normal. (meaning i'm still looking where are hidden my commands )

Many thanks for the help
