(brought to you by Amanda 2.6.2alpha-20081209)

But, I get the same response from 2.6.2alpha-20081208 too, wth? It worked perfectly here last night.

Yumex had just installed updates for awstats, two cups packages, and kdelibs4.
I don't see a connection.  I used the same ./gh.cf script:
=============
#!/bin/sh
# since I'm always forgetting to su amanda...
if [ `whoami` != 'amanda' ]; then
        echo
        echo "!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!"
        echo "Amanda needs to be configured and built by the user amanda,"
        echo "but must be installed by user root."
        echo
        exit 1
fi
make clean
rm -f config.status config.cache
./configure --with-user=amanda \
        --with-group=disk \
        --with-owner=amanda \
        --with-gnu-ld \
        --prefix=/usr/local \
        --with-tapedev="FILE:/amandatapes" \
        --with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \
        --with-tape-server=coyote \
        --with-bsdtcp-security --with-amandahosts \
        --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda \
        --with-config=Daily \
        --with-gnutar=/bin/tar
make
=============
That I have been using for ages.

One item I noted, cups was, maybe is also being difficult, and its error messages are showing the ipv6 stuff, but I don't have that setup here.

The amcheck-debug logs for just now all end like this:

/home/amanda/.amandahosts hasn't changed in 2 years:
-rw------- 1 amanda amanda 417 2006-11-27 19:29 .amandahosts

Ideas folks?
