munin.conf group directive error - can't reset an unset group.

[Gavitron]

Upgraded from munin 1.2.6 to munin 1.4.3.

I chose to keep my existing munin.conf file, and found this bug as a consequence.

Previously, per http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/faq#Q:CanIchangetheorderofthedomains I had the following lines in my munin.conf

[]
domain_order Zgroup Ygroup Xgroup 
contacts webmaster

I had put these lines after the global directives, but before any named-groups. (ie: [group1;] )

in 1.2.6 this worked without issue, but in 1.43 munin-update failed to load the config.

commenting out the [] fixed the issue, but this indicates a problem with the config parser.

either the warning emitted by the config parser should be more specific that you can't reset the group definition before a group is defined, or it should just fail gracefully, and continue past.

at the least, maybe the wiki page I reference could be updated to note this caveat?

heh, didn't realize I had write access to the wiki - should have checked first. You can scratch the last line, as I already made the note. Fix the bug though. :)
