Thank you Holger and Craig, that is most useful.
I use Arch Linux, and installed (upgraded) backuppc using the provided
package in pacman format. I already suspected configure.pl hadn't been run,
because I had to manually adjust RsyncBackupPCPath (it was empty)
and PoolV3Enabled (it was off).
I couldn't find a copy of configure.pl on my system. I guess the package
gets expanded in some temporary location which is cleaned after install. I
will have a more thorough search.
I think my choices now are:
1) Get a copy of configure.pl and run it. I haven't looked at it, and I
don't know perl. Is it something that needs to be run from a particular
location? I would also report the issue to the package maintainer.
2) Uninstall the packaged version and get the tar.gz file and install
myself manually.
I think I'd like to try 1 first.
Once again, thanks for your help.
