Package: backuppc
Version: 2.1.1-2sarge2
Severity: normal

Hi!

One of my users every now and then manages to create files with CR
 and/or LF in the name, and BackupPC is stopped dead in its tracks wrt.
 to this file, as it relies on proper line-by-line output from the
 rsyncp module.

For now I just hunt down the file in question, rename it and restart
 the backup, but in the long run this ain't gonna do.

One can easily reproduce the problem by creating a file like this:

:) [EMAIL PROTECTED]>~/tmp $ touch "Hello
> there"
:) [EMAIL PROTECTED]>~/tmp $ ls -b Hello*
Hello\nthere
:) [EMAIL PROTECTED]>~/tmp $ find . -name Hello\*
./Hello
there

and then start a backup. In the Xferlog the relevant lines are

  create   644 1000/1000           0 waldner/tmp/Hello
Don't understand 'there' from child

Any hints? libfile-rsyncp-perl is at 0.52-1.

cheers,
&rw
