+Type: note
+_Description: Layout of RRD files has changed in version 5.0
+ The layout of some RRD files created by collectd has changed since version
+ 4.x. In order to keep your old data you have to migrate it. This can be done
+ by using /usr/lib/collectd-core/utils/migrate-4-5.px.
+ .
+ This step requires both the perl and the rrdtool packages to be installed,
+ which is currently not the case. You need to perform the migration manually.
+ .
+ See /usr/share/doc/collectd-core/NEWS.Debian and the collectd wiki at
+ <http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/V4_to_v5_migration_guide> for details.

+ This step can be done automatically. In this case a backup of

+_Description: Remove all collected data (e.g. RRD files)?
+ The /var/lib/collectd/ directory which contains the data files containing the
+ collected statistics is about to be removed. For example, this directory
+ includes (in the default configuration) all RRD files.
+ .
+ If you're purging the collectd package in order to replace it with a more
+ recent or custom version or if you want to keep the data for further
+ analysis, the data should be kept.
