Instead of compiling from sources, as I did up to now, I tried the
rpm from zmanda on a new host I'm preparing.

Downloaded:  amanda-backup_client-2.6.0p1-1.rhel5.i386.rpm

When installing, I got these lines:

...
May 26 2008 16:55:46: The directory '/var/lib/amanda/.gnupg' created 
successfully.
May 26 2008 16:55:46: Ensuring correct permissions for '/etc/.gnupg'.
May 26 2008 16:55:46: '/var/lib/amanda/.gnupg' Installation successful.
...

The middle line, mentioning "/etc/.gnupg", is, I suppose, not correct.

Minor error, as it's only the message.  The permissions of the directory
'/var/lib/amanda/.gnupg' are correct after installing, AFAIK.
