Package: mrtg
Version: 2.8.9-1
Severity: normal

From file://localhost/var/www/mrtg/ferret.phonewave.net.html,

   The statistics were last updated Tuesday, 15 August 2000 at 14:20 ,
   at which time 'tarot' had been up for 0:14:21.

tarot:/var/www/mrtg# uptime
  2:18pm  up 14 days, 20:37,  8 users,  load average: 0.19, 0.10, 0.08

It appears that mrtg is returning a value corresponding to
snmpd's running time instead of the system uptime, as I can
stop and start snmpd. Lo and behold:

   The statistics were last updated Tuesday, 15 August 2000 at 14:30 ,
   at which time 'tarot' had been up for 0:04:22.
