appeared, Ubuntu still ships with a backuppc which reports

backup failed (Tar exited with error 512 () status) for the localhost target, 
even though the backup is, AFAICT, adequate in every significant respect.

For the time being I will add the option "--ignore-failed-read" to
TarClientCmd for localhost. Cosmetic, true, because the backup is fully
functional but still...
