tags 956083 + patch,pending thanks Hello Tina!
I have prepared a _very_ simple patch for this issue that lacks elegance, but I think solves the problem: As it is invoked before the data rotation, it will notify via stderr and exit before destroying past data: diff --git a/autopostgresqlbackup b/autopostgresqlbackup index 19f2264..2b9eb14 100755 --- a/autopostgresqlbackup +++ b/autopostgresqlbackup @@ -367,6 +367,14 @@ dbdump () { pg_dump --username=$USERNAME $PGHOST $OPT $db >> $2 fi fi + # Was the dump successful? We can only guess based on the + # return status of the command. + if [ $? != 0 ] + then + echo "Errors reported by dump process! (return code: $?)" >&2 + echo $@ >&2 + exit 1 + fi done return 0 } I will now proceed to build the package and upload to the 5-day delayed queue. FWIW, this is part of the LatinAmerica 2021.03 BSP ;-) https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2021/03/LatinAmerica
