--- Begin Message ---Package: backuppc Version: 3.2.1-4 Severity: normal Dear Ludovic, on a BackupPC server newly installed a few months ago with Wheezy, and then merged in /etc/backuppc/config.pl, /etc/backuppc/hosts and some more configuration files from the previously used hardware, I've see the following strange message for quite some hosts (29 out of 116) on their BackupPC home page: Last email sent to <main user for that host> was at <today's date> <current time>, subject "". It always shows the current time and date and claims that the subject has been empty. But according to the mail log, no mail has been sent for as long as the mail logs are available. (Which means that it's possible that there was never sent any mail to that user for that host.) Since showing an empty string as well as showing the current date are the result of an undefined value being interpreted as string respectively passed to time() or localtime(), I checked /var/lib/backuppc/log/UserEmailInfo.pl for the users and hosts in question. They all seem to have an empty hashref where other hosts have a hashref containing a hash with lastSubj lastTime as keys: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [...] '<some user>' => { '<host with strange e-mail message>' => {}, '<host with normal e-mail message>' => { 'lastSubj' => 'BackupPC: no recent backups on <host with normal e-mail message>', 'lastTime' => 1357183205 } }, [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So I suspect that either the case where no mail has been sent ever is not handled properly or that something unexpectedly filled /var/lib/backuppc/log/UserEmailInfo.pl with empty hashes for some hosts. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages backuppc depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii apache2 2.2.22-12 ii apache2-mpm-worker [httpd] 2.2.22-12 ii bzip2 1.0.6-4 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii iputils-ping 3:20101006-1+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.30-6 ii libc6 2.13-37 pn libcompress-zlib-perl <none> ii libtime-modules-perl 2011.0517-1 ii libwww-perl 6.04-1 ii perl [libdigest-md5-perl] 5.14.2-17 ii postfix [mail-transport-agent] 2.9.3-2.1 ii samba-common-bin 2:3.6.6-5 ii smbclient 2:3.6.6-5 ii tar 1.26+dfsg-0.1 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu3 Versions of packages backuppc recommends: ii libfile-rsyncp-perl 0.70-1 ii libio-dirent-perl 0.05-1 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.0p1-3 ii rrdtool 1.4.7-2 ii rsync 3.0.9-4 Versions of packages backuppc suggests: ii links2 [www-browser] 2.7-1 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.8dev.12-2 pn par2 <none> ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-8 -- Configuration Files: /etc/backuppc/apache.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/backuppc/apache.conf' /etc/backuppc/config.pl [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/backuppc/config.pl' /etc/backuppc/hosts [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/backuppc/hosts' /etc/backuppc/localhost.pl [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/backuppc/localhost.pl' [I don't want to publish the whole configuration, but I can send most of it to you in private or publish selected configuration values.] -- debconf information: * backuppc/configuration-note: backuppc/restart-webserver: true * backuppc/reconfigure-webserver: apache2 Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <[email protected]>, http://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE `- | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5

--- Begin Message ---Hi, I was going through those very old bugs and decided to close them, as BackupPC V4 has evolved a lot and a lot of those bugs seems to be feature requests, unsure if the problems still exist or otherwise not actionable. Please feel free to reopen the bugs, if think that is sensible, or maybe if it as feature request check directly with upstream. -- tobi
