Here is the situation:

1) installed BackupPC on Ubuntu 10.10
2) Decided I didn't like the way I installed it, because I wanted to have /var/lib/backuppc on a partition with more than 11 GB
3) Read this: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Change_archive_directory
4) Decided that maybe I can save myself time and delete the /var/lib/backuppc folder (I can't remember if I apt-get remove or deleted the folder first)
5) After deleting the /var/lib/backuppc folder, I "apt-get remove backuppc"
6) I made a new partition with GParted that was 20GB.
7) I edited /etc/fstab to have that partition point to /var/lib/backuppc
8) I rebooted
9) I checked to see if the /var/lib/backuppc folder was there (I can't remember), I think I recreated it
10) Rebooted
11) Attempted to re-install backuppc
12) Received error message:
