I installed BPC4 from the pre-release debian 11 repo back in March and
it Just Worked(TM), no problems at all. I'm currently backing up 89
hosts with it and haven't had to touch any of the BPC infrastructure
aside from setting up appropriate configs. It's solid.
I'm not sure why Debian decided to do the pc/ symlink thing, but it
works. Debian was doing that with the BPC 3.x packages in debian10 and
it never caused any problems that I'm aware of.

Hallo
I had planned to migrate from my present distro (my present system
runs a correct backuppc 4 installation), and had delayed my move until
the release of Debian-11.
I am deceived - the backuppc package in Debian-11 does not look solid:
- /etc/backuppc/pc (immediately after installation) is a link to
/etc/backuppc: an infinite loop
- if, to make a fresh start, I remove the backuppc package I had
installed (remove backuppc followed by autoremove and rm -rf
/etc/backuppc) and do a fresh install, the directory /etc/backuppc
will have incorrect contents (only htpasswd and pc).
That looks like packaging has not been followed by thorough testing.
The recent post ("backuppc 4 fails without any log") might fall under
the same heading (rpi4 probably means raspberry, i.e. Debian).
Did anybody have success making this Debian package work on his
installation?
