Nothing to do

Maybe related - as a long-time user, I installed all the dependencies manually before attempting the Smokeping install, but this new installer is also trying to install these thirdparty tools. Maybe some issue there? Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Eric

Didn't get any responses to this last time so I'm throwing my line in again to see I get any bites.

TIA,
Eric
