mailgraph CGI failing to render

The following is provided by Ian Kilgore <email address hidden>:

The problem line is this:

'COMMENT:['.localtime(time).']\l',

The commands to librrds are delimted by colons, localtime (in scalar
context) returns a string with several colons (hour:minute:second).
librrds on sarge swallows the colons fine (for the COMMENT field), the Ubuntu version does not.

Patch for ubuntu version:

Should be fixed in dapper's version.

If Jason reports back on this issue (which is fixed in the version in Dapper), he should reopen.

I just had this exact same problem on edgy. I found the following log line to be more interesting than the one originally provided.

ERROR: opening '/var/lib/mailgraph/mailgraph.rrd': No such file or directory, referer: http://rie/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi

In feisty i have same problem.
On /var/lib/mailgraph directory i have found this:

/var/lib/mailgraph/,cgi-bin

??

queuegraph work well

works fine for me in gutsy now. How is the situation for everybody else?

Fixed in 7.10 and newer.
