Here is info from my machine, currently running CentOS 6.8. I was able to
resolve the problem by manually installing both ExtUtils-Constant-0.23 and
Socket-2.024 by hand, they would not compile with CPAN.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Error ' getaddrinfo is not a valid Socket macro'
after upgrading to 4.1
Steve Palm reported that error last week on this list. It relates to a patch
included in 4.x to make ipv6 work.
It's likely you have an old version of perl and Socket.pm. Could you tell us
your versions? Run this:
perl -v
perl -e 'use Socket; print $Socket::VERSION . "\n"'
Try upgrading Socket.pm:
sudo cpan
install Socket
I'll add a version check on Socket to configure.pl<http://configure.pl>.

I recently upgraded from BackupPC 3.3.0 to version 4.1. The upgrade process
itself seemed to go OK, and I only had to fix a few unquoted items in my config
file for BackupPC to successfully restart. Now, however, when I try to run a
backup on a client that was working prior to the upgrade, I get the following
error in my log, and the backup never attempts to run, nor is there any error
in the web interface. Any input is appreciated.
