(Of course the "upstream" Amanda code found on Salsa originally comes
from the Zmanda sources, but it's not up-to-date v.s. any post-release
commits found in the Zmanda GitHub repo, and in general I think you will
likely end up causing confusion for yourself by trying to build from
Salsa.)

Why do you think you need to turn off IPv6 in Amanda? Modern distros
such as Strech will have IPv6 configured out of the box, and all the
standard packages will be build with that assumption. It doesn't hurt
anything for Amanda to have IPv6 support enabled; if your ISP (and your
local network configuration) doesn't support it, it just won't actually
be used at run time....

Holding disk is configured in your amanda.conf file (. (Is "/usr/dumps"
what you intended to use for that?)

This is set by the "logdir" in your amanda.conf file. If that is the
path you want it to use, what do
# ls -ld /usr/local/var/amanda/Daily
and
# ls -l /usr/local/var/amanda/Daily | tail
show?

Seems like you need to install the "libjson-perl" package.

I'm not immediately finding the discussion in the archives, but If I
remember correctly from some earlier discussion on this topic, the
confusing thing about this message is that it's run once per client
machine, but it's actually checking the amanda-security.conf file on the
server.
In any case, what does
# ls -l /usr/local/etc/amanda-security.conf
(on your server) show?
