Hi all,

Finally found time to upgrade an old BackupPC install from v3.3.1 to the
latest v4.

I read up on the prerequisites, gotchas' etc and installed BackupPC-XS-0.57,
rsync-bpc 0.01 and version 0.9924 using cpan.
I've never used cpan before, but I didn't get any errors here. Installs
should be fine.
After that, I continued with installing the latest BPC 4.2.1 and it went w/o
a hitch.

The end remarks after BPC-installation mentioned restarting httpd so I did
that.
I also restarted the backuppc daemon for good measure

And this is where the problem started, I got this:
"Starting BackupPC: Invalid version format (trailing decimal) at
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC line 125"

The lines in /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC is about this:

    $version = $1 if ( $output =~
/rsync_bpc\s+version\s+([\d.]+)(beta\d+)?\s+protocol/ );
    if ( $version eq "unknown" || version->parse($1) <
version->parse($PackageVersion->{rsync_bpc}) ) {
        print(STDERR "BackupPC: rsync_bpc at $Conf{RsyncBackupPCPath} needs
to be upgraded (got version $1; need >= $PackageVersion->{rsync_bpc});
exiting in 30s\n");
        sleep(30);
        exit(1);
    }


I've no idea how to proceed. I can't find any information pertinent to the
error message.
Is version too old? Too new? Something else?

Any help appreciated!
Thanks.
