yes, the Perl include path in the BackupPC daemon script. That's a bug in the package. Contact the maintainer and ask him to fix it. If you want to fix it yourself (and perhaps provide a patch to the maintainer), look in /usr/bin/BackupPC for a line use lib "<something>/lib"; (it's line 59 in vanilla BackupPC 3.1.0). Change that <something> to whatever is correct. If you have no idea where the BackupPC library files are and can't use package tools to e.g. get a list of files contained in the package, try something like find / -name PoolWrite.pm -print (I chose PoolWrite and not Lib, because it seems somewhat less likely to be used by anything else). Under Debian, that would output /usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/PoolWrite.pm so the correct 'use lib' line would be use lib "/usr/share/backuppc/lib"; Note that you will need to change *all* BackupPC scripts (unless the others have the correct value ...), i.e. BackupPC, BackupPC_archive, BackupPC_archiveHost, BackupPC_archiveStart ... let's hope they're all still named as they should be ;-).
