hello dear

 

   My name is sadia and i am student of MS(computer science).
   i want some information relating to bug #436681 that has been fixed
   now. i have two problems in checking this bug:

 

  Q 1- please tell me how can i install the new package of 

         "backuppc_3.0.0- 4.diff.gz" on my PC ??  As  i have already installed 

          the old version of package "backuppc 2.1.2.6" directly through internet

         but can not install the new version of this package. I have also tried

          by downloading  the new package from this following path

       http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/08/28/debian/pool/main/b/backuppc/backuppc_3.0.0-4.diff.gz
   
But when i try to install it by giving commands (i.e "aptitude install" or "dpkg -i"), it do not install this new package and give error of zero bytes like this. kindly tell me the proper way or command to install this new package.
   
      
Q2- In which language the code of backuppc packageis written??, is it perl or
        in some other language?? (as i have found some of the syntax is different

        from perl)

 

Thanx in Avance!!!

bye
