Bug Description
When trying to recover data from a backup with amrecover following the guides at:
http://
http://
One eventually gets the error, "amrecover - can't talk to tape server: service amidxtaped" when trying to do a restore. This is a known bug in 1:3.3.0-1 and is fixed in 1:3.3.1-1. It's already fixed in Debian wheezy.
http://
Unfortunately wheezy requires a newer version of perl so the package isn't installable.
Since 12.04 is an LTS release can we get this package updated to the fixed version?
Secondarily,
The file /etc/xinetd.
service amidxtape
{
socket_type = stream
flags = IPv4
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = backup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/
disable = no
}
service amandaidx
{
socket_type = stream
flags = IPv4
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = backup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/
disable = no
}
It looks like it's acceptable for all 3 definitions to be in the /etc/xinetd.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Raring Ringtail.
This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
