use apt-get to install the app and its dependencies, then pull the latest down
and update it (it should read your config settings). i think i've got a 2.1.2
package somewhere, email me off list if you still need it (dfallin at css1 net)

did you run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure'? i've not used that but if all else fails,
just manually stop the service first (sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc stop), then run
the reconfigure
