This looks like something different.  Has your main config.pl file (in
/etc/backuppc or wherever the ubuntu package puts it) changed recently
and do you have a backup?   It should be finding the correct user name
in this file which should have something like:
#
# The BackupPC user.
#
$Conf{BackupPCUser} = 'backuppc';

But your $Conf{BackupPCUser} seems to be set to
 backuppchttp://10.1.0.110/backuppc/index.cgi?action="">
