Help for Brazilians-Cacti

[tel7]

When installing ubuntu or debian by apt-get install cacti or spine the version that is installed is 0.8.f and installs the current one, how to install by apt-get the new version?

I forgot to mention that I love cacti and use it on our ISP in the middle of the Amazon rainforest.

You need to enable the backports which have the later versions of Cacti. Below is a link that suggests how to do this under Trusty:

I did the procedure and regressed the version to 0.8.8b, now I am tempnado in debian and only install version 0.8b. Any alternative?

I've sent a message to Paul Gevers who maintains the packages to see if he can offer any insight.

Any Answers?

He did let me know that he handles the Debian Backports, not the Ubuntu ones. As ubuntu is based on Debian, I figured that would work. It may still do so but you'd have to manually enable the Debian Backports repo under Ubuntu (I'm sure there will be instructions on that out on the interweb).

Alternatively, you will need to install MySQL, PHP and download the latest cacti source. Then create the /etc/cron.d/cacti file yourself.

I will ask the group whether there is someone who maintains the Ubuntu repository version, but I've not really spoken to anyone else but Paul in the last few months.

I am using debian now, however it does not install the new version by apt-get install cacti

Have you enabled the debian backports?

[tel7]

yes, I did this link

If you want to install anything from the backports, you need to install a package explicitly from the backports the first time. That is how APT sorts packages.

Which version of Debian are you running? Unfortunately, I can only provide backports for Stretch, as there are too many required updates in the dependencies to be responsible for in older releases.

OS: Debian 8.10 jessie
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64

OS: Debian 8.10 jessie

Sorry, but I can't support backports on Jessie due to too much dependencies I would need to support. If you really need a newer Cacti on that version of Debian, you are best of taking the source from cacti.net and installing it the non-Debian way. In that case, please mind the FAQ in my signature, as you can't simply replace the installed package with upstream source. If you could upgrade your system to Debian 9 Stretch, than backports are supported.

Since this sounds ilke a test machine you've already changed the OS from Ubuntu, I would recommend using Pauls last suggestion since it will be the easiest method for you.
