Look for an email from me in the archives, with subject, "Re: Recovery

For good measure, you might also want to look in the archives for a
message with subject, "Re: amrecover failure [RESOLVED]", on April 26th,
2012.

Both sets of emails, bugs, and fixes apply to 3.3.1 stable, which
apparently isn't all that stable. I sincerely hope they'll push out a
3.3.2, with the patches applied for these known, show-stopper, bugs.

Best of luck.

amrecover fails with "TypeError in method 'debug'..."

2012-04-29 Thread Kervin L. Pierre
Hi,

I'm following the simple recovery example from the wiki...
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/GSWA/Recovering_Files

Worked though all the issues but now I'm at the 'extract' and I'm getting an 
error...

amrecover - amidxtaped closed the connection
amrecover - can't talk to tape server: (null)

Further inspection of /var/log/messages gives...

amidxtaped[2784]: TypeError in method 'debug', argument 1 of type 'char *'
 
I've found someone had run into this issue before 'June 2011'...
http://archives.zmanda.com/amanda-archives/viewtopic.php?t=6929&sid=f2141406dc79480edd30a1200443e9a6

They mentioned patching a Perl script but I haven't found the one they're 
referring to.

Does anyone have instructions on how to fix or workaround this issue?

I'm using 3.3.1 built from source on an update to date Amazon Linux install.
