Package: flexbackup
Version: 1.2.1-6.3
Flexbackup used to work for me for years, the last version included in
Debian 8
works without problems. The version for Debian 9 had changes made due to
a new
version of perl. Seems like nobody ever tested the software ...
Here's how to reproduce the problem:
1. Setup flexbackup to use "tar".
2. Setup any directory for backup which contains a multilevel structure,
like /etc
3. Run a backup job
4. Inspect the resulting *.tar.gz file using an archive manager like
engrampa
level 1 files will be backed up twice
level 2 files will be backed up three times
level 3 files will be backed up four times
and so on ...
Also, $exclude_expr[] which worked in the last version are not working
anymore.
As of now, flexbackup is pretty much unusable.
