innobackupex dies with the following error when called with --safe-slave-backup --slave-info if the instance is not a slave:

    Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/bin/innobackupex line 2867

Line 2867:

    if ($con->{slave_status}->{Slave_SQL_Running} =~ m/Yes/ ) {

Thanks. The same problem has already been reported as bug #1190716 and will be fixed in XtraBackup 2.1.4.
