Bdale Garbee published to debian repository version 2.5.0p2.
I have tried this on brono and jord, and this does NOT resolve the
problem.
I now have this on ALL of my boxen, except brono and jord, which I have
downgraded to 2.4.4p3-3.
Last night was my first completely successful backup in more than one
week!
I have received several private emails explaining the situation. I do
understand those issues. However, amanda DOES succeed in my situation
in versions _prior_ to v2.5.x -- and it FAILS in ALL v2.5.x ;<
This I do NOT understand.
What am I missing?
How will I know when a new version corrects this problem?

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much
we think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
