No, I think that was more a comment on the fact that the person's "question" was actually a sentence, without actually asking for anything.  He was congratulating him on making such a clear statement of fact!  :)

(I felt exactly the same way reading the initial message.  If you can't actually attempt to figure something out on your own, can't you at *least* ask a question?!?  God forbid you actually tell us the most basic information about your system and what you've tried...  But I seem to have just a hair more self-control than Holger... ;)  )

I have to say that this drives me nuts.  Why does a downstream provider bundle these things together as if they were supposed to be together?  Then, when it breaks, BackupPC people are supposed to maintain it?!?

They may be the coolest things on Earth (wouldn't know;  I use CentOS), but it's not right to mangle the package like that and making it the default package for the distro...  :(

If it *IS* the coolest thing on Earth, can't we get it upstream for *everyone*?
