Hi, all, I have used amanda 2.6.0p2 on my gentoo systems for a very long time without any problems, but I have recently encountered a number of issues:
1) all backups are failing with the following messages: FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY: tobey /home RESULTS MISSING tobey /etc RESULTS MISSING tobey /var/lib/portage RESULTS MISSING tobey /root RESULTS MISSING tobey /usr/local RESULTS MISSING tobey /export RESULTS MISSING tobey /var/www RESULTS MISSING tobey /var/lib/mysql RESULTS MISSING driver: FATAL reading result from taper: Connection reset by peer 2) amcheck fails with the following message ERROR:util.c:721:amanda_thread_init: assertion failed: (!g_thread_supported()) 3) Thinking that this state of affairs might be due to recent upgrades in libraries amanda uses for support, I attempted an amanda rebuild using the gentoo ebuild utility. That also fails. However, I have been able to build amanda 2.6.0p2 from source using the standard configure-make-make install commands. This installation fails in the same way that my gentoo installation fails. Clearly something has broken on my system. I have not changed anything directly related to amanda, so I suspect that a change in something it depends on has broken things. According to some gentoo utilities, amanda depends on glib at runtime, glib was upgraded at the time of the backup failures, and g_thread_supported() appears to be a glib function. Any advice on how to proceed from here? Thanks for your help! John Blinka
