/etc/cron.daily/slbackup:



Please adjust slbackup to avoid these messages from cron when there are
no errors.

Legacy library getopts.pl will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major release. Please install the separate libperl4-corelibs-perl package. It is being used at /usr/share/slbackup/slbackup-cron, line 14.

Greets,
Mike

Can you please verify if the log messages go away once you have installed libperl4-corelibs-perl on your system? The package is available for wheezy. Once you have confirmed that I will provide another slbackup revision in experimental. However, the current status of slbackup is that an update of the package for wheezy is not possible. For wheezy, slbackup has to be provided via the D-E archive. (Long story [1]). I'll keep the package up-to-date in experimental for now, so someone with D-E upload rights can grab it from there (after closure of this bug).
