Package: backupninja Version: 1.0.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The sys handler of backuninja saves various informations that should be helpful in restoring the system. Among these, dpkg-selections.txt is supposed to help reinstalling the packages. However, dpkg --set-selections < dpkg-selections.txt doesn't seem to still be operational in recent Debian releases. There are probably many workarounds available, but a canonical documentation, available in /usr/share/doc/backupninja would be very much needed, as no backup system is much helpful without restoring procedures. Many thanks in advance.
