Perl lchown package in Jaunty: liblchown-perl Installing this package stopped the rsnapshot lchown-warnings for me. It should probably be a dependency of the rsnapshot package.
Perhaps a better alternative than to use rsnapshot's internal copy-function is to use the cp binary. >From /etc/rsnapshot.conf: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # LINUX USERS: Be sure to uncomment "cmd_cp". This gives you extra features. # EVERYONE ELSE: Leave "cmd_cp" commented out for compatibility. # # See the README file or the man page for more details. # cmd_cp /bin/cp --------------------------------------------------------------------------- And if you enable link_dest, rsnapshot does not seem to use any copy command at all (rsync does the job): --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # If your version of rsync supports --link-dest, consider enable this. # This is the best way to support special files (FIFOs, etc) cross-platform. # The default is 0 (off). # link_dest 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- These two alternatives do not require the lchown perl module. -- WARNING: Could not lchown() symlink "..." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
