Try the attached patch, You can also apply the patch manually to the 
installed Amanda/Debug.pm if you do not compile amanda yourself.

Hi,

I'm using Amanda for 7 years now, and now the version 2.6.* does not 
compile anymore on linux.
So I tried versions 3.2.* and 3.3.* , and every version I tried it 
segfaults on some point.
On amlabel, or amcheck or amdump.

I get errors like TypeError in method 'critical' , argument 1 of type 
char *

Best regards
