Helo when I'm try upgrade amanda-2.4.2p2-7 to amanda-2.4.3-4 I've this problem

error: failed dependencies:
        perl(newgetopt.pl)   is needed by amanda-server-2.4.3-4

Even if 2.4.3 is the first release to contain the file-driver,
there has been another upgrade, with new features and bugfixes...

Why don't you just do:

   (remove the current amanda version(s):)

rpm -e amanda-server
rpm -e amanda-client

wget http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda/amanda-2.4.4-20030516.tar.gz
    (look for the latest snapshot here)

gtar -zxvf amanda-2.4.4-20030516.tar.gz

cd amanda-2.4.4*

less INSTALL
  (some minutes pass... read, note down something, read again...)

./configure \
        --prefix=/usr/local \
        --with-index-server=amandahost \
        --with-user=amanda \
        --with-group=disk \
        --with-config=daily \
        --with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \
        --with-fqdn \
        --with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/gtar \
        --with-amandahosts \
        --with-debugging

   (change your parameters to what you like ./configure --help gives
    a longer list)
   (Note that I point to my private gnutar, you need gnutar 1.13.25,
    and not 1.13 or before)

make
su
make install

Voila, up-to-date without rpms in less than an hour, and, you know
what has been done, what options were given, and how to do it again
if you find a bug.
