Package: dar Version: 2.4.0-1 Severity: important Upgrading to dar 2.4 has broken my (longstanding) backup script in two ways. Note: the script is Manuel Iglesias's DAR_automatic_backup.sh, which may be in use by others. The two problems will be reported in separate bug reports as the actions are different.
This bug report concerns the fact that dar 2.4 produces the following error message for many (all?) files: Dates of file's data are not increasing when database's archive number grows The problem is to do with dar_manager being used with archives created by earlier versions of dar -- something which everyone who has a dar-based incremental backup scheme will find. The problem seems to be a known bug in dar. See: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3373072&group_id=65612&atid=511612 According to the bug report, the problem will be fixed in 2.4.2. Either dar 2.4.2 or the fix itself needs to be included in the wheezy version of dar.
