Public bug reported:
If you have an Ubuntu 18.04 Amanda client machine, you have probably
only installed the amanda-client package (and then amanda-common, which
it depends on). If you try to run 'amrecover' on such a machine, you
will get a failure:
# amrecover -s <server> -t <server> -C <s_config>
AMRECOVER Version 3.5.1. Contacting server on <server> ...
[request failed: amrecover: error [exec /usr/lib/amanda/ambind: No such file or
directory]]
This happens because the ambind program is packaged in the amanda-server
package, which is not installed by default when you install amanda-
client. The current Debian testing packages for Amanda also appear to
have this issue, so Ubuntu's packages may have inherited it from
upstream.
The Amanda package version is '1:3.5.1-1build2'. This is on Ubuntu 18.04
('bionic'); amrecover works fine in 16.04, but then 16.04 has Amanda
3.3.6, which is before Amanda introduced the ambind program.
(My apologies for an initial incomplete submission of this report;
bugs.launchpad.net decided to submit it when I was adding tags.)
