Thanks for pointing to the part in the changelog that contains the smb fix Richard. I searched for "samba" not just reading through it :-/
The package instals itself (after placing the raw files) via a postinst script (https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html) You can find the one that does that for backuppc in: /var/lib/dpkg/info/backuppc.postinst (this is a cache and might be cleaned) The install from upstream is conflicting (overriding files) with the distribution one: Atfer install I see a lot of changes in "dpkg --verify backuppc" So this breaks your former Distributon based install. The upstream script asks you for upgrade your lder config which is at /etc/backuppc/config.pl. If you "just" want to get to the upstream level you have to remove the Distribution one (apt-get remove backuppc) and then run the configure.pl in fresh-install mode. Afterwards restart the service "service backuppc restart" and the new version is running. But then this is just the upstream, no updates/upgrades/... A workaround for now, but I'd recommend picking up the update once it is released and maybe even SRU'ed back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1667733 Title: Backuppc 3.3.2 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backuppc/+bug/1667733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
