Package: backuppc
Version: backuppc
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
I noticed that servers upgraded to etch started silently failing backups
with "fileListReceive failed" error. Apparently special files are causing
breakage in the new version. In config.pl, the fix was to modify
Config{RsyncArgs} argument from --devices to -D, in order to instruct it to
do special files. Alternatively, adding the --specials argument also fixed.
