Re: [BackupPC-users] Upgrading to 3.0

[Chris S. <ax...@gm...>]

Sorry, thought I was running 2.1.1, but checking again, the server is
actually running 2.1.2.p0. But, again, it's dieing at the top of the
configure.pl script - right when it is checking the packages. I did
comment out that check and reran configure.pl and completed the
installation upgrade. When trying to start it though I got:

[root@backup BackupPC-3.0.0beta1]# service backuppc start
Starting BackupPC: Too many arguments for Encode::decode_utf8
at /usr/local/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/FileZIO.pm line 252, near "0)"
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC line
61.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
line 61.
                                                           [FAILED]

So, I reinstalled 2.1.2.p0.

Without commenting out the package check in configure.pl, and using perl
-W, I get:

[root@backup BackupPC-3.0.0beta1]# perl -W ./configure.pl
Name "main::value" used only once: possible typo at ./configure.pl line
825.

BackupPC cannot find the package BackupPC::FileZIO, which is included in
the
BackupPC distribution.  This probably means you did not cd to the
unpacked BackupPC distribution before running configure.pl, eg:

    cd BackupPC-3.0.0beta1
    ./configure.pl

Please try again.

So, it's looking offhand to me that there's a problem somewhere with the
distributed BackupPC/FileZIO.pm package.
