Hi Julien,

This issue has been fixed (in Debian Unstable) with exactly the same
patch on 12th of November (see https://bugs.debian.org/944611 and
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/backuppc/blob/master/debian/patches/07-reload-user.patch)
and has migrated to Debian Testing on 15th of November. I'm hence
merging the two bug reports.

Your bug report didn't specify on which release you ran into it.

But given the fact that you reported the bug after it had been fixed
in Testing and that Debian 10 Buster has the same package version, I
assume, you reported this from a system running Debian 10 Buster.

We do plan to also fix this issue also in Debian 10 Buster via
stable[-proposed]-updates. The fix has been migrated to testing, so
there should be no further obstacle to apply it to Debian 10 Buster,
too.

                Regards, Axel
