[BackupPC-users] Upgrading is changing many thins in config.pl?!
Hello everybody.
I'm in the middle of upgrading on my Debian Sid of BackupPC and get many
differences in the config.pl file. Besides the differences depending on
custom parameters (done by me), the main differences I see are like:
-$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = '1';
+$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1;
There is only one difference: the removal of the ' signs. Is this vital
or may I leave the file untouched (thus saving me from doing changes to
my actual configuration)?
Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Hello again.
I'm in the middle of upgrading on my Debian Sid of BackupPC
and get many differences in the config.pl file. Besides the
differences depending on custom parameters (done by me), the
main differences I see are like:
-$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = '1';
+$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1;
OK, not having too much time, I decided to go for the simple solution: I
told APT to maintain the actual config.pl
What now happened is that the upgrade *failed*, but still the 3.1.0 is
running.
Here the excerpts I got from APT:
Starting backuppc...2011-02-07 14:16:05 Another BackupPC is running (pid
1110); quitting...
invoke-rc.d: initscript backuppc, action start failed.
dpkg: error processing backuppc (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 1
[...]
Errors were encountered while processing:
backuppc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Where may I look for errors?
Thanks,

Why don't you just make a copy of the config file(s) and let apt
proceed normally and then restore the old config files after the
backup.
Then if anything breaks when you run with the old configs you can fix
it based on the error messages.
But based on my recollection, most of the changes were additions of
new variables or minor grammar/typo corrections, so it may just work
as-is.
What I did was to do a 'diff -ruw' between my edited 3.1.0 config file
and the original virgin 3.1.0 config file.
Then I applied that as a *patch* to the new 3.2.0 config file. I did
this across versions (3.1.0 -- 3.2.0) and across Distros/architecture
(Fedora 12/X86 -- Debian Lenny/armel). I think of several dozen
config changes only 2 hunks failed to patch and it was pretty obvious
how to fix them.
