Hi, There's absolutely no reason why this bug is still open, with comments from users. This has been fixed a long time ago in Debian, and should be also in Ubuntu. Perhaps this is just affecting users of Ubuntu 10.04, in which case I would advise to upgrade to the latest version of automysqlbackup from Debian SID (it will also work with any version of Ubuntu normally).
For the above reasons, I'm asking for the closing of this bug.
