Package: amanda-server
Version: 1:3.1.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
I'm not sure if this belongs as grave or serious, but either way it is
showstopper segfault and thus RC.
amreport is updated throughout the backup process so when amreport segfaults it
interrupts the backup (or flush). This means no backup is possible an thus
introduces the possibility of data loss.
The only message I get is this message in dmesg/syslog
[382769.476112] amreport[25359]: segfault at 0 ip b7658425 sp bfe35ec8 error 4
in libc-2.11.2.so[b75e5000+140000]
It is rather alaraming because it means I can't backup my system (I don't have
any big enough storage other than tape).
