Gene,

Please use amanda-hackers for email about beta release.

This bug was fixed yesterday, I'm building a new snapshot now.

Greetings;

I just built, making the jump from 2.5.0 from 3-23 to 2.5.1b1-20060405 and got a nasty surprise.

No problem building or installing it, however when I did the perfunctory
'amcheck Daily' after the install, it spits out this:

==================================================

But, Dailys-13 is the one it used last night, and it should have set it up to use Dailys-14, but 3 consequetive runs failed to do so.

So I'm in the process of installing the 20060329 version now.  brb.

Ok, that one worked as expected, says its going to use Dailys-14 as it should, so you might want to relabel 2.5.1b1-20060405 to 2.5.1alpha1-20060405. Or better yet, withdraw it. I'd call that a fairly serious bug.
