I hope you at least did that by removing the package and then reinstalling? It's always a bad idea to take something which is under the control of your package management system and randomly change file contents, paths etc. > should I install the unstable .deb package? Yes. As far as I can figure out without actually installing apache et al. on my not-really-so-test system it doesn't pull in any dependencies not satisfiable within sarge. If you don't want an entry for sid in your sources.list, download the package (eg. 'rsync ftp.de.debian.org::debian/pool/main/b/backuppc/backuppc_3.0.0-2_all.deb /tmp' - you could have used wget, but we all love rsync, don't we? ;-), install it with 'dpkg -i /tmp/backuppc_3.0.0-2_all.deb' and, if that should complain about failed dependencies, install those with 'apt-get -f install' (which should then also configure the backuppc package and exit successfully). Of course, if you "updated" your 2.1.1 deb to 3.0.0 with the tar installer, things may be more difficult. Apparently you've moved around your configuration, so that's probably the case. For a clean package *update*, everything should probably look exactly like it does with the version you're updating *from* cleanly installed before you attempt the update (that's 2.1.1 in your case). Hint: have a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/backuppc.list ... Regards, Holger ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
