sendmail is not listed in the dependancies for backuppc so you need to install that or postfix which has sendmail emulations and a /usr/bin/sendmail script for that.
you will likely not have all of the deps for the 3.1 deb package so do the apt-get -f install to fix that OR you can use this is X windows
gdebi backuppc*.deb
that will resolve the dependancies for you and you can skip the apt-get -f install.
you will likely get a prompt telling you how to change the backuppc password.
that should do it and you should be functional in about 2 minutes total.

Thanks.. but.. :-)
I rebuilt the ubuntu package that was available for 'intrepid' for
8.04 and it installed without a hitch. Thee is currently a problem in
the Ubuntu intrepid packaging as the binary package is listed as
3.0.0, but the 3.1.0 source files are available. I think I also
managed to fix my language issue, as that too seems to have gone away.
As a demo, I am using backuppc to backup my laptop locally (to a local
USB drive). This too seems to be going well.. (find out tomorrow
morning.) the only tricky thing was creating and copying ssh keys to
root@localhost.

I have some interest in understanding the inner workings of BackupPC.
I'm also happy to have a system installed and working.
Cheers, and thanks,
