Thank you for looking into this. The test case is described in https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/369#issuecomment-693663922 and boils down to:

> * Create temporary file on host [i.e. backup client, with rsync 3.2.3]
> * Run `/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f host` manually on the server cmdline as correct user [use BackupPC v3 with buggy libfile-rsyncp-perl, as present in Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04)
> * Wait for rsync to start dumping files (i.e. indexing is complete), then delete temporary file on host

HTH.
