amdump permission denied

[aboaboit]

Just upgraded from Kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 and I get an error when running amdump, here is the exact error messag ("permesso negato" is the Italian for "permission denied")

-x-x-x-
backup@mononoke:~$ amdump DailySet1
Can't locate Tie/StdHash.pm: Permesso negato at /usr/share/perl/5.20/base.pm line 97.

cwd was my own home directory.
after changing to /tmp the problem went away.
when backup was done, I saw that there still is a /tmp/amanda directory.

This is quite likely the same as this Debian bug:

Additionally, amdump now complains "'/usr/bin/tar' binary is not secure".

This appears to be an incorrect.

Ok, the original problem seems to be fixed.

http://wiki.zmanda.com/man/amanda-security.conf.5.html

Seems to suggest the file is NOT required if things are at the default locations and not symlinks. These conditions are true, but the file must exist.
