Bug#316879: backuppc: problem with status.pl and perl
Package: backuppc Version: 2.1.1-2 Followup-For: Bug #316879 I've made some tests with perl 5.8.7-4 and I could not reproduce your bug. I've also written some scripts which use Data::Dumper, and I had no traces of 'bless' keywords in the dumps. Could you check with a newer perl so that I can close that bug ? I've just upgraded perl on our server to version 5.8.7-4, and after that the problem appeared again. The status is no longer available using the webinterface: - The servers PID is , on host uttnarag, version , started at 9/2 13:07 - This status was generated at 9/2 13:07. - The configuration was last loaded at 9/2 13:07. - PCs will be next queued at 9/2 13:07. - Other info: - pending backup requests from last scheduled wakeup, - pending user backup requests, - pending command requests, Also a backup which I started just after the upgrade wasn't visable, neither using the status-page, nor using the 'host summary'-page. When I restarted backuppc after I'd done an incremental backup, it wouldn't start again saying: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:] ~$ sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc restart Restarting backuppc: couldn't parse /var/lib/backuppc/log/status.pl: Can't bless non-reference value at /var/lib/backuppc/log/status.pl line 1. So after I remove status.pl, the first line looks like this after the first time opening backuppc: - The servers PID is 15941, on host uttnarag, version 2.1.1, started at 9/2 13:09 And after a refresh of the page, it looks like this: - The servers PID is , on host uttnarag, version , started at 9/2 13:07. We have installed most of our programs using debian packages, and this also counts for backuppc, perl and apache2. Don't know if we made some mistake in some configuration file, but then there should have been changed something between perl 5.8.4 and 5.8.7... Maybe you have some idea what to do next?

Bug#316879: backuppc: problem with status.pl and perl
Package: backuppc
Version: 2.1.1-2
Severity: important
When using the latest version of perl in debian-testing (5.8.7-3),
backuppc doesn't show the status anymore ('currently running backups' and the
'host summery' page). Also, when we restart backuppc, it sometimes doesn't
start giving the following error:
Starting backuppc: couldn't parse /var/lib/backuppc/log/status.pl: Can't
bless non-reference value at /var/lib/backuppc/log/status.pl line 1
The associated status.pl file:
%Info = bless( (
ConfigLTime = 1120221035,
nextWakeup = 1120262400,
Version = 2.1.1,
ConfigModTime = 1115722579,
HostsModTime = 1120207158,
startTime = 1120220706
), 'HASH' );
%Status = bless( (
localhost = bless( {
lastGoodBackupTime = 1120221018,
deadCnt = 0,
reason = Reason_backup_done,
activeJob = 1,
state = Status_link_running,
aliveCnt = 2,
endTime = 1120221018,
needLink = 0,
startTime = 1120221017,
type = incr,
userReq = 1
}, 'HASH' )
), 'HASH' );
Just after removing status.pl and starting backuppc, the new status.pl file
looks like this:
%Info = (
'nextWakeup' = '1120521600',
'ConfigLTime' = 1120485866,
'Version' = '2.1.1',
'pid' = 27233,
'ConfigModTime' = 1120427028,
'startTime' = 1120485866,
'HostsModTime' = 1120207158
);
%Status = (
'localhost' = {
'lastGoodBackupTime' = '1120465496',
'deadCnt' = 0,
'reason' = 'Reason_backup_done',
'activeJob' = 0,
'state' = 'Status_idle',
'aliveCnt' = 2,
'endTime' = '1120466048',
'needLink' = 0,
'startTime' = '1120465496',
'type' = 'incr',
'userReq' = 1
}
);
Going back to the version of perl they use in debian-stable(5.8.4-8)
fixed the problem, so I think something changed within perl that breaks
backuppc...
