Hello,

After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 (backuppc 3.2.1-2ubuntu1.1) to Ubuntu 14.04 (backuppc 3.3.0-1ubuntu1), BackupPC no longer starts in daemon mode. It runs fine in foreground though. I tried with a fresh server install and still the same thing. The child dies immediately after being forked and exits when the parent process exits. Here's what it looks like if I add "sleep 60;" right after forking the child process and before the parent exiting "exit if ($pid);"

backuppc 16074 15421  0 15:55 pts/30   00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC -d
backuppc 16076 16074  0 15:55 pts/30   00:00:00 [BackupPC] <defunct>

Same piece of code works fine if extracted and used by itself. Is there anyone running BackupPC on Ubuntu 14.04 having the same problem?

Thanks,
Stoyan
