there is a problem with check_mysql in the trixie version with checking
the slave:

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mysql -H localhost -S -u MYUSER -p
MYPASSWORD
Slave status unavailable

after discussing the matter with someone from monitoring-plugins via
IRC I tried the new version 2.4.0-5 from forky and it works fine:

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mysql -H localhost -S -u MYUSER -p
MYPASSWORD

could you please backport the version from forky to trixie?

I am using Debian 13.5, Kernel 6.12.88+deb13-amd64 and libc 2.41-
12+deb13u3

Thanks,
