Here's what I did to fix it:

1. Wait for collector run to finish, and comment it out in cron to
   stop it from running

2. Back up your Cricket RRDs
cp -a /var/lib/cricket /var/lib/cricket-backup

3. Dump your rrds, munging them into 0001 format in the process
   with this script
#!/bin/sh
find /var/lib/cricket -name '*.rrd' | (
while read RRDFILE
do
        XMLFILE=$(echo $RRDFILE | sed s/rrd$/xml/)
        rrdtool dump $RRDFILE | sed 's,<version> 0003
</version>,<version> 0001 </version>,' | grep -v 'params>' | grep -v
'_value>' > $XMLFILE
        chown cricket.cricket $XMLFILE
done
)

4. Downgrade rrdtool and librrds-perl to 1.0.49 (from Debian Sarge)

5. Restore your RRDs with this script
#!/bin/sh
find /var/lib/cricket -name '*.xml' | (
while read XMLFILE
do
        RRDFILE=$(echo $XMLFILE | sed s/xml$/rrd/)
        rm -f $RRDFILE
        rrdtool restore $XMLFILE $RRDFILE
        chown cricket.cricket $RRDFILE
done
)

6. Test CGI scripts

7. Allow the collector to run again and watch the collector log
carefully

8. Put the packages on hold so apt-get won't upgrade them:
cat << EOF | dpkg --set-selections
librrds-perl hold
rrdtool hold
EOF



Now - with that out of the way - is there ANYONE successfully using
cricket
with version 0003 RRDs (without running into the HTML summary problem)?
You
can check an RRD's version by running:

rrdtool dump [rrd file] | grep version

If so, I'd like to hear what version of cricket and librrds-perl you are
running and where you got them from (which distribution, etc).
