https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=356558 Summary: rsnapshot fails completely, packaging error: require Lchown. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Maintenance AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: robin.listas@telefonica.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- backup application rsnapshot fails completely. This is the normal output: nimrodel:~ # rsnapshot daily nimrodel:~ # Nothing. In linux parlance, that means success, but it took 0.2 seconds to completion. Impossible! The log contained this single sentence: Jan 28 03:05:12 nimrodel rsnapshot[14815]: /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily: completed successfully Configuring for a very verbose log, this is what I get instead: nimrodel:~ # rsnapshot daily require Lchown Lchown module not found Setting locale to POSIX "C" echo 3970 > /var/run/rsnapshot.pid rm -f /var/run/rsnapshot.pid /bin/logger -i -p user.info -t rsnapshot /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily: \ completed successfully nimrodel:~ # It claims success, but it did nothing, took less than a second to exit. It requires "Lchown", which comes in package "perl-lchown", which you forgot to include in the distro. Worse, rsnapshot does not depend on perl-lchown, the installer doesn't advise of this requirement. Further more, it is MNSHO that a backup application that claims success when it fact it failed utterly is a very bad backup app that should not have been included in opensuse as not having the expected quality! :-/ I will have to search for another backup utility, as I wont be able to ever trust rsnapshot again even if it claimed success! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
