Argh ! This is exactly the description of a bug I'm tracking for days right now! :-(
So I've tried to downgrading from tar 1.15.91-2 to 1.14-2.2, just to see if it can be a workaround waiting amanda-2.5.1. The answer tomorrow morning... I think this bug should be reclassified from normal to urgent/critical/severe, since backups are a security issue. This bug hit us on June 29, that is almost 2 months without incremental backups, that means only 1 backup per 2 weeks, since only level 0 backups run with this bug... :-( Bdale, I understand you are reluctant to put beta software in Debian/unstable, but, it is unstable :-) and the current version don't work anymore. :-( To put it in experimental seems overkill to me...
