After upgrading a gentoo server to amanda-3.5.1 I get this for a specific (and very old) amanda-client:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: linux4: selfcheck request failed: Can't bind a socket to connect to linux4 Client check: 1 host checked in 10.015 seconds. 1 problem found. This might be related to the fact that the client is very old (a legacy VM running an old piece of software ... can't upgrade anything there) Did anyone find a solution for this; I only google this thread with open end: http://www.backupcentral.com/forum/14/290515/3_5_amcheck_issue - I tried to downgrade to amanda-3.4.5 ... and hit issues around RPC: glibc in gentoo has removed RPC somehow, so I tried to compile with: CPPFLAGS='-I /usr/include/tirpc' emerge -1 "=app-backup/amanda-3.4.5" which then fails later with errors around ndmp (?): /var/tmp/portage/app-backup/amanda-3.4.5/work/amanda-3.4.5/ndmp-src/.libs/libndmlib.so: undefined reference to `xdr_array' /var/tmp/portage/app-backup/amanda-3.4.5/work/amanda-3.4.5/ndmp-src/.libs/libndmlib.so: undefined reference to `xdr_void' (USE="-ndmp" didn't change a thing here) and the package I built a few months ago isn't installable anymore because it depends on old perl-5.24 So I am stuck. I try to get a package from gentoo-users now. I don't expect a quick patch for the initial issue above. Greets, Stefan
