This is a packaging issue, and I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. The argument for doing it this way is that the admin may not use rsync for backups; in which case it's better to not include the rsync package. I would posit that rsync is really the best way to do backups, and most people would want to do backups that way unless they had some unusual situation; so it may not be bad to include the rsync packages. The BOFH in me says that people can learn, and so it's perfectly ok to be minimalist about things and not include the rsync packages as a dependency of backuppc. Thanks for pointing that out tho; it's a noteworthy thing. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
