Hi Maxy, this package existed and was removed in 2010, cf. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565418 https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2010/01/msg00021.html CPAN has newer releases indeed but when I read the embedded POD at https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::Lite::FTP this stll looks sad. Ah, #672236 also mentions the old discussions. If I understand the situation correctly, Net::FTP::Lite is used in backup-manager for FTP over SSL connections; that's a feature that Net::FTP (in perl core) also has: https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::FTP since (libnet) 1.28 / 2014-10-08: https://metacpan.org/changes/distribution/libnet Checking /usr/share/perl/5.20.2/Net/FTP.pm (stable) and /usr/share/perl/5.22.2/Net/FTP.pm (testing/unstable) confirms that this in not in 5.20/stable but already in 5.22/testing. I would suggest that backup-manager uses Net::FTP with its SSL support. Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
