Greetings,

I'm attempting to follow the instructions for installing v3.1.0.  v
3.0.0 installs well from the Ubuntu package, but upgrading causes some
issues..

  $ sudo apt-get install backuppc

Download and extract the new BackupPC-3.1.0.tar.gz package.

  $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/backuppc/BackupPC-3.1.0.tar.gz
  $ tar xzvf BackupPC-3.1.0.tar.gz
  $ cd BackupPC-3.1.0

Stop the BackupPC daemon

  $ sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc stop

Run configuration script

  $ sudo perl configure.pl

The configuration file is located: /etc/backuppc/config.pl

--
After the installation, I try to restart the daemon, but get the
following error. (Daemon doesn't run.)

 $ sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc start
 * Star ting backuppc...
 No language setting
 BackupPC::Lib->new failed

I have my locale set to English(Australian)..
 $ locale
 LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
 LANGUAGE=en_AU:en
 LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_TIME="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_MONETARY="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_PAPER="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_NAME="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.UTF-8"
 LC_ALL=
---
Also, to 'clean up', should the 'backuppc' package be removed, some
directories now need to be removed manually by hand...

eg. after

  $ sudo apt-get remove --purge backuppc

the following is also required.

  $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/backuppc
  $ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/backuppc

Cheers,
Paul
