Bug#361715: Debian bug 361715 followup



I have several questions for those of you seeing this problem, to try
and get to the root cause.  I don't use amcheck in cron myself, so could
use your help chasing down the problem.

First, have any of you tried the 2.5.0p2-1 amanda-server package yet?  I
don't see anything in the upstream changelog that looks promising, but
let's make sure the problem is still there in the latest bits.

Second, are the cron entries being run as the right user, most likely
user 'backup' if you're using a near-stock config?

Third, is anyone seeing anything "interesting or unusual" in the logs
from cron?  A 'grep -i cron /var/log/*' is worth perusing.

Fourth, you do have a 'mailto' defined in your amanda.conf if you're
using the -m option to amcheck, right?

Thanks for reporting the problem, and in advance for your help solving
it!

Bdale
