Ecole des Mines de Paris

System: FreeBSD viking.daverio.net 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #14: Thu Jun 24 21:01:43 CEST 2004 root at viking.daverio.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/VIKING i386

>Description:

	The Amanda Server port (misc/amanda-server) was recently upgraded from 2.4.4p4 to 2.4.5. While 2.4.4 and previous version worked
perfectly, 2.4.5 is unable to backup any data.

	Although amcheck reports that everything is correct, amdump returns immediately, without backing up any data. amdump's mail report
indicates that this is because the planner returned an empty list. The debug files in /tmp/amanda (amandad.*.debug) also indicate
that planner exited with signal 10. And effectively, trying to run /usr/local/libexec/planner manually produces a bus error.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Just run /usr/local/sbin/amdump ou /usr/local/libexec/planner from the command line.

>Fix:

	Workaround : revert to Amanda Server 2.4.4p4 

	For cvsup, I replaced the line  : *default release=cvs tag=.

	with : *default release=cvs tag=. date=2005.05.01.00.00.00

	in my cvsupfile, as the amanda-server port was upgraded to 2.4.5 around 5th May 2005.
