Public bug reported:
The perl script that sends email notification is missing a "use" directive to
support mail encoding.
Here are the steps to reproduce the bug :
su backuppc
$ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u [removed for privacy]
Sending test email using /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f backuppc01.norris
Undefined subroutine &main::encode called at
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail line 405.
sendmail: No recipients specified although -t option used
The bug is fixed upstream in BackupPC version 3.2.0 but this version is
tagged as beta quality. Currently, Intrepid, Jaunty and Karmic all use
BackupPC version 3.1.0 and are affected by this bug. I would suggest to
just fix this issue and keep the stable release. The fix is a one liner
and should cause no problem :
