Package: amanda-server
Version: 1:2.5.1p1-2.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/amoverview
Tags: patch
Hello! I have a one-liner fix for amanda-server's amoverview script.
Symptom:
amoverview reports an error (E) for every dump on every day.
Analysis:
The amoverview perl script incorrectly parses the output of "amadmin
find". amoverview uses a single space character as a string
separator, but "amadmin find" places an arbitrary amount of
whitespace between fields. So the first few arguments separated
by single spaces are correct (date, host, disk), but the remaining
are ignored (level, tape, file, part, status).
Correction:
One line in perl script (attached patch) will use contiguous
whitespace as separator.
Best regards,
Stephen Benoit
