Package: dump
Version: 0.4b45-1
Severity: normal
Hallo,
using the option '-Q' to enable the Quick File Access doesn't work anymore
in version 0.4b45. It did work in the previous version 0.4b44. A simple
example of the error is shown here:
vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ mount | grep root
/dev/mapper/debian-root on / type ext4
(rw,relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ sudo dump -0 -f /tmp/root.dump -Q /tmp/root.qfa
/dev/mapper/debian-root
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Jun 7 18:38:42 2016
DUMP: Dumping /dev/mapper/debian-root (/) to /tmp/root.dump
DUMP: Label: root
DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 531036 blocks.
DUMP: writing QFA positions to (null)
DUMP: can't open tapeposfile
DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
vincent@PC-Vincent:~$
At first, I thougth that this error was also caused by the bug #826398,
but at a closer investigation of the upstream source code changes, I
found that the filename is probably not communicated to the correct
variable. The NEWS file reports that the QFA code has been reorganized
as a plugin.

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/dump.git/commit/?id=4ae1cb7685eab029d6a182f76d839cf0dea825d3
and search for the string "create tapeposfile".
Regards,
Vincent Smeets
