I am attempting to upgrade from 2.4.2p2 to 2.4.5.  The configure and

However, the selfcheck program doesn't seem to be working.  Below is the
output from the 2.4.5 version and the 2.4.2p2 version.  2.4.5 seems to
start, then quit before doing anything.


Amanda 2.4.5:
    sbsdp|amv: /var/log/amanda > cat selfcheck.20050531095251.debug
    selfcheck: debug 1 pid 524520 ruid 203 euid 203: start at Tue May 31

    /usr/local/libexec/selfcheck: version 2.4.5

Seems like it crashes or so?

Can you try to execute it manally like this:

(echo 'OPTIONS features=fffffeff9ffe7f;' ; echo 'GNUTAR / 0') | 
/usr/local/libexec/selfcheck


Or it could be that amandad crashes before it can give the necessary 
input to selfcheck.  Have in look that the amandad.*.debug file too.

Thanks for your reply!

I get a seg fault when I try that command. Output is below (tabs added for readability).

sbsdp|amanda: /home/amanda > (echo 'OPTIONS features=fffffeff9ffe7f;' ; echo 'GNUTAR / 0') | /usr/local/libexec/selfcheck
    Segmentation fault
