Hi James,

There are two possible fixes:

1. Use BackupPC 3.2.0.

2. Install libarchive-zip-perl 1.18-1 or older, and tell the package
manager not to upgrade it.

If you're using Debian stable (lenny), you shouldn't need a fix. Check
what version of libarchive-zip-perl you've got. If newer, install the
older one as in my post here:

The package here works just fine in Debian or Ubuntu.

Regards,
Tyler
