NetDB - File oui.txt cannot be found

[Earl Ramirez]

Dear All,

I have recenly install NetDB on CentOS 7 and in the control logs I am seeing the following error. "netdbctl(25842): Net::Mac::Vendor cache source [file://opt/netdb/data/oui.txt] does not exist at /usr/lib64/perl5/NetDB.pm line 2291." I've confirmed that the file exist and netdb has access to the file.
ls -la /opt/netdb/data/oui.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 netdb netdb 3248879 Oct 22 2014 /opt/netdb/data/oui.txt

As a result of this I am not able to see the vendor, I checked the VMWARE version and I am also seeing the same behaviour. I temporarily modified NetDB.pm so that I can get the following results (hoping).
file /opt/netdb/data/oui.txt
/opt/netdb/data/oui.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text
But that did not resolve the issue, can anyone shed some light on resolving this?

Thanks in advance
Earl Ramirez

Hello,
I only recently hit this problem with vanilla version 1.13 on Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 3 Cindy. For the record, to resolve this, I changed NetDB.pm parseConfig subroutine to remove the prefix "file:/" from the definition of variable $ouidb on line 3512, which reads now:
$ouidb = $config->ouifile();
