Hi folks,

Our virtual workstations run CUPS along with the  "system-config-printer" package, which provides a "graphical interface  to configure the printing system." Unfortunately, Xymon keeps  reporting false-positives for this package, in particular for lines  involving this one python script:

   /usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/system-config-printer/applet.py

Xymon often erroneously reports that such processes have "libs linked  that were upgraded", even though no upgrades have taken place. Also,  there may be multiple reports of this per user and per session, and  these will persist even after the user has logged out.

Can anyone explain how to prevent these false positives? I imagine the  solution will involve creating  /etc/xymon/libs.local.yaml with a few  lines added to it.

Our virtual workstations run Debian 11.4 (Bullseye) with Xfce 4.16,  cups 2.3.3op2-3+deb11u2, system-config-printer 1.5.14-1, xrdp  0.9.12-1.1 and xymon-client 4.3.30-1. The xymon server is also runs  version 4.3.30-1 on top of Debian 11.4.

Thanks,

Jaap
