Package: backuppc
Version: 2.1.1-2
Severity: important
When using the latest version of perl in debian-testing (5.8.7-3),
backuppc doesn't show the status anymore ('currently running backups' and the
'host summery' page). Also, when we restart backuppc, it sometimes doesn't
start giving the following error:
Starting backuppc: couldn't parse /var/lib/backuppc/log/status.pl: Can't
bless non-reference value at /var/lib/backuppc/log/status.pl line 1
The associated status.pl file:
%Info = bless( (
"ConfigLTime" => "1120221035",
"nextWakeup" => "1120262400",
"Version" => "2.1.1",
"ConfigModTime" => "1115722579",
"HostsModTime" => "1120207158",
"startTime" => "1120220706"
), 'HASH' );
%Status = bless( (
"localhost" => bless( {
"lastGoodBackupTime" => "1120221018",
"deadCnt" => 0,
"reason" => "Reason_backup_done",
"activeJob" => 1,
"state" => "Status_link_running",
"aliveCnt" => 2,
"endTime" => "1120221018",
"needLink" => 0,
"startTime" => "1120221017",
"type" => "incr",
"userReq" => 1
}, 'HASH' )
), 'HASH' );
Just after removing status.pl and starting backuppc, the new status.pl file
looks like this:
%Info = (
'nextWakeup' => '1120521600',
'ConfigLTime' => 1120485866,
'Version' => '2.1.1',
'pid' => 27233,
'ConfigModTime' => 1120427028,
'startTime' => 1120485866,
'HostsModTime' => 1120207158
);
%Status = (
'localhost' => {
'lastGoodBackupTime' => '1120465496',
'deadCnt' => 0,
'reason' => 'Reason_backup_done',
'activeJob' => 0,
'state' => 'Status_idle',
'aliveCnt' => 2,
'endTime' => '1120466048',
'needLink' => 0,
'startTime' => '1120465496',
'type' => 'incr',
'userReq' => 1
}
);
Going back to the version of perl they use in debian-stable(5.8.4-8)
fixed the problem, so I think something changed within perl that breaks
backuppc...
