Package: rsnapshot Version: 1.3.1-3 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
In the rsnapshot manpage , section USAGE, the example crontab entries are wrong. In Debian, rsnapshot resides in /usr/bin, so the crontab entries starting with /usr/local/bin won't work. Please see my attached patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages rsnapshot depends on: ii liblchown-perl 1.01-1+b2 Perl interface to the lchown() sys ii logrotate 3.7.8-6 Log rotation utility ii perl 5.14.2-6 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii rsync 3.0.8-1 fast remote file copy program (lik Versions of packages rsnapshot recommends: ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:5.8p1-7 secure shell (SSH) client, for sec rsnapshot suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/rsnapshot.conf changed [not included]
