yes, sorry, my fault. There's a typo in my patch. You applied the patch
correctly and to the correct file (/path/to/lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm).
The patch should have tested $? and not $! ... in context:
if ( !close($t->{pipeTar}) && $? != 256 ) {
I would prefer to test these things before sending them to the list, but
it's not really trivial in this case, is it? :). I had copied the comment
from BackupPC 3.0.0 after first applying my patch from memory and then
"checking" in 3.0.0 if it was correct. Seems I didn't look close enough. I
hope I did this time.
Regards,
Holger
