        Hi all,

After upgrading amanda from 2.5.0 to 2.5.0p2 (Debian testing), all backups
fail with:

Seems like taper died suddenly?
Or the TCP connection between driver and taper was broken by a local
firewall rule maybe?


There's no indication of the failure in any log file in /tmp/amanda/.


Taper and driver have their stderr redirected into the amdump file
which gets renamed to amdump.1 (etc.) when finished.
Any clue in there?
