Hi !

I've tried to upload the perl module and the modified rsync, but it was
automatically rejected because of the use of an embedded zlib library.

FYI, the error message:

E: backuppc-rsync: embedded-library usr/bin/rsync_bpc: zlib
N:
N:    The given ELF object appears to have been statically linked to a
N:    library. Doing this is strongly discouraged due to the extra
work needed
N:    by the security team to fix all the extra embedded copies or
trigger the
N:    package rebuilds, as appropriate.
N:


So, is it possible to use the system zlib or not for rsync and the perl
module? Is it a modified zlib?

Best regards,

Ludovic
