It sounded like backuppc could replace kbackup. If a different package can be used "to do simple scheduled archives on tapes with a dialog based interface", then kbackup should likely be removed. http://people.debian.org/~ballombe/popcon/main/by_inst shows: #rank name inst vote old recent no-files 4061 kbackup 52 15 23 14 0 So kbackup is at least somewhat popular. If something can better replace kbackup then worries about an upstream, a Debian maintainer, and the bugs, could be "fixed" by removing kbackup. Drew Daniels
