Tried the debian11-packages on a debian-11.7 server after uninstalling the original debian packages (amanda-server, amanda-client, amanda-common).

The new packages show some different config:

• user "amandabackup", debian packages use "backup"
• /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/amanda/amandad not found: path seems to be different
• /usr/bin/gzip is needed .. Debian has it in /bin/gzip

Trying to work around these issues by editing xinetd-config etc

I remember having to adjust "amandad_path" for older clients etc

Hi @stefangweichinger, this is regarding the issue that you mentioned.

The below are the configurations that we use to build our package- --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \ --with-user=amandabackup \

In the above configurations, you can observe the following points-

• the user that is created is "amandabackup" and not "backup".
• architecture-dependent libraries are included in path "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu", so amandad daemon will be located under this directory only.
• gzip utility in debian 11.7 is also located in "/usr/bin/gzip" and not "/bin/gzip".

I installed the same version of binary (3.5.3) on Debian 11.7 and didn't face any such issues. If you are still facing this issue, could you please provide the configurations that you are using?

Thank You

@ishansinghcms thanks for asking. Quite busy here, I'd have to see in which test VM I tried that and recheck my steps. Currently it's not an issue for me: no package building for me right now :-)

Maybe you share your full configure-command as a reference, thanks.

Hi @stefangweichinger, the full configure-command is mentioned below-

./configure \ MAKEFLAGS="-j1 " \ CFLAGS="-pipe " \ MAILER=/usr/bin/mail \ --enable-as-needed \ --enable-manpage-build \ --quiet \ --host=x86_64-linux-gnu \ --build=x86_64-linux-gnu \ --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \ --bindir=/usr/bin \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \ --enable-shared \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-amdatadir=/var/lib/amanda \ --with-gnutar-listdir=/var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists \ --with-index-server=localhost \ --with-tape-server=localhost \ --with-user=amandabackup \ --with-group=disk \ --with-fqdn \ --with-bsd-security \ --with-bsdtcp-security \ --with-bsdudp-security \ --with-amandahosts \ --with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient \ --with-debugging=/var/log/amanda \ --with-ssh-security \ --with-assertions \ --enable-s3-device \ --disable-installperms
