Hi Mark,

I’ve also got a package for BackupPC 3.2.0 in my repo, which fixes this problem as well as others. I’ve been using it for over a year; it’s stable and works well. I advise you to upgrade.

Thank you so much for posting this fix. I’m running Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS and this has resolved the issue for me.

David,

You might want to use BackupPC 3.2.0. The package for Ubuntu 10.04 is in my repo. If you feel like testing it on 10.10, let me know and I’ll add it to the 10.10 repo. It’s just the package from Debian with some changed dependencies in the .deb file (no code changes from the source package).
