Didn't quite work fore this debian stretch, close though.
Now, I did all the above as amanda, obtained by sudo -i
then su amanda.
I had a good sized tanker full of deprecated_declarations and if its
still in the scroll-back, unused_functions. And lots of other noise that
didn't look too serious, but I ended up with this:
# fix perms manually
chown -R amandabackup:disk debian/*/var/lib/*
chown: invalid user: ‘amandabackup:disk’
debian/rules:122: recipe for target 'binary-arch' failed
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit
status 2
And indeed, there is no amandabackup user in this new install.
Took about 45 wall minutes, but next time I won't have to manually check
all the installed bits.
So I ctl-d'd out of amanda, then adduser amandabackup, doing something I
never had to do before, give amandabackup both a passwd and I see its
also got /bin/bash for a shell, so there goes the security model by
giving anybody who knows the amanda passwd a route into the machine, bad
dog. without that its just an emasculated username, accessible only to
root. So be aware you may have to edit that crap back out
of /etc/passwd. But after doing the usreadd, and without that editing,
I see the second stage of the build, making the deb, looks like its
starting from scratch. But this time it finished up with this:
echo "Amanda version `cat FULL_VERSION`"

The only amanda stuff was /usr/local/etc/amanda/DAILY copied from the old
disk to preserve my system, and about 20 files of the old amanda install
in /usr/local/lib/amanda, all dated from Jan 2017 so they aren't
precious now. But all the old installs using amanda's own Makefile,
simply overwrote them instead of having a litter of calves.
So I nuked what I could find of the january 2017 install the at may have
been copied to the new drive. Getting essentially the same message from
dpkg -i *.deb
WTH is wrong now? Your turn Chris.
