Package: backupninja Version: 0.9.4 Severity: important Tags: patch /usr/sbin/backupninja is using 'stat --printf=...'; unfortunately, --printf is not supported by the 'stat' from coreutils, which is what is used on many (most?) Linux distros (including debian etch, fedora, mandriva). Instead the option is called --format.
The attached patch changes this. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages backupninja depends on: ii bash 3.1-2 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii dialog 1.0-20060221-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii mawk 1.3.3-11 a pattern scanning and text proces backupninja recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
