False positives for applet.py (system-config-printer)

[Jaap Winius]

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
