Bug#510210: [libkolab-perl] bootstrap fails due to missing directory /var/lib/kolab/backups/

[Lars Kruse]

Package: libkolab-perl
Version: 2.2.1-20081212-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

when running "kolab_bootstrap -b" for the first time in a fresh lenny system,
it breaks with the following error:
 cannot mkdir : Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
 at /usr/sbin/kolab_bootstrap line 214, <STDIN> line 1.

It looks like the parent directory (/var/lib/kolab/backups/) should be created
first.
This problem can be fixed with the attached patch.

Thanks for your work,
Lars
