Rick,
There are potential pitfalls upgrading using the native release tar.gz from
an existing package manager installation - the package installer might make
choices or enforce policies that configure.pl isn't aware of.
That's the rsync_bpc version check. $Conf{RsyncBackupPCPath} is set to
"/usr/local/bin" instead of "/usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc" (or wherever you
have installed rsync_bpc).
