Hi there,
I managed to track down the problem. It was due to the fact that BackupPC was
still using v0.68 of File-RsyncP rather than v
0.70, and even after compiling v0.70 it was still using v0.68. To resolve this
I deleted all versions of File-RsyncP from my
local machine, and then re-compiled and re-installed v0.70. I then issued the
command
perl -e 'use File::RsyncP'
Can't locate File/RsyncP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5
/usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
which did not make sense as I had just installed it without error. I then
tracked the problem down to the permissions/ownership
of the directories and it showed that the owner was root and the permissions
were drwxr-x---, so I change the directory, and
sub-directories, permissions to drwxr-xr-x, and then
perl -e 'use File::RsyncP'
returned without an error.
The directories (on my installation) with the permission issues were
/usr/local/lib/perl5/File
/usr/local/lib/perl5/auto/File
and the subdirectories below these.
Looking at the paths in @INC it would appear that when I thought I was using
v0.70, I was in fact using v0.68 which was still
installed in the directory
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi, and was causing
the backups to fail
with the error above. It was doing as expected; I should have gone looking
harder yesterday before posting the first email.
Apologies for the long-winded reply, but it may prove helpful to others out
there.
