Package: backuppc Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: important If you're using autofs and followed the recommendation of creating a symlink from /var/lib/backuppc/ to your backup endpoint that's on an autofs mount, backuppc won't start at boot.
This is because the backuppc init script launches backuppc before autofs is started (and backuppc fails to start because its TopDir doesn't exist). The problem can be solved by adding an insserv override and adding "autofs" to the list of Required-Start args. Of course the default init script shouldn't have any reference to autofs, so what I suggest is adding a note in the readme file for autofs users, with the description of the workaround. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages backuppc depends on: ii adduser 3.113 ii apache2 2.2.21-5 ii apache2-mpm-prefork [httpd] 2.2.21-5 ii bzip2 1.0.6-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 ii dpkg 1.16.1.2 ii exim4 4.77-1 ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.77-1+b1 ii iputils-ping 3:20101006-1+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.30-5 ii libc6 2.13-24 ii libcompress-zlib-perl <none> ii libtime-modules-perl 2011.0517-1 ii libwww-perl 6.03-1 ii perl [libdigest-md5-perl] 5.14.2-6 ii samba-common-bin 2:3.6.1-3 ii smbclient 2:3.6.1-3 ii tar 1.26-4 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu2 Versions of packages backuppc recommends: ii libfile-rsyncp-perl 0.68-1.1+b3 ii libio-dirent-perl 0.04-2+b3 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:5.9p1-2 ii rrdtool 1.4.7-1 ii rsync 3.0.9-1 Versions of packages backuppc suggests: ii chromium [www-browser] 15.0.874.121~r109964-1 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 8.0-3+b1 ii konqueror [www-browser] 4:4.6.5-1 ii par2 <none> ii uzbl [www-browser] 0.0.0~git.20111128-1 ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-5 -- Configuration Files: /etc/backuppc/config.pl [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/backuppc/config.pl' /etc/backuppc/hosts [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/backuppc/hosts' /etc/backuppc/localhost.pl [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/backuppc/localhost.pl' -- debconf information: backuppc/restart-webserver: true * backuppc/configuration-note: * backuppc/reconfigure-webserver: apache2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
