I know it sound crazy, stupid but it happened and I must ask for help. I use rsync for backup run by cron daily. I've been using it since fresh install back in April, and since things worked as expected I stopped watching it closely.
Today I discovered suddenly, cron log showing last backup failed with error code 127. I run my script manually and get the same. `which rsync` returned nothing. Then I opened Symantec and to my astonishment found that rsync is present but is not installed (?!!!). Well, to insure I'm not getting crazy (:->) I get to my backups and found all of them in place nicely logged by rsync up to 2 days ago. I'm not a Linux guru. But I'm not a complete novice either. I've been using several distros for over 4 years for now and never experienced any thing similar. The only thing comes to my mind now is, exactly couple of days ago I get a massive update notification (something over 90 packages) by Update Manager. When I tried to Update Manager, it hanged up for ever. After several attempts and even a reboot I realized Update Manager get broken for some reason. I restarted in restore mode and completed update from there. Things looked well after that. Now I do not know what to think. May all described suggest my system was compromised by a stranger "update"? Has anybody ever experienced anything similar? Any suggestion/opinion would be highly appreciated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
