I don't get it. Are you suggesting I install Ubuntu ? or that an Ubuntu package can be installed into a debian release?
Why can't I just get the patched package mentioned in the bug report?
Sorry Andrew, I was being facetious. I'm not sure why Debian haven't uploaded their patched version after two years, but it wouldn't be the only package that's stuck on an old, buggy version that I've seen. Ubuntu tends to be much better at updating packages, despite being based on Debian, so maybe it's worth looking at switching next time you reinstall? In the meantime -- you could download the Ubuntu source package and rebuild it for Debian lenny, and it would most probably just work. Cheers, Toby

This seems a crazyness in debian bugfixing system to me:
I am trying to get amanda to recover - and I have hit this bug reported in debian lenny where the client trying to do the recovery insists on using ipv6 to talk to an ipv4 machine which fails.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482754
which has a fix in amanda-client Version: 1:2.5.2p1-5 as per bug report in **26 Mar 2009**
- *BUT* where can I get this - today in Dec 2011????
Ubuntu.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=amanda-client
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=amanda-client lists the latest lenny version as 1:2.5.2p1-4 (the version I am running).
Can some one explain - Why is this not released ? - Where do all these fixes go - some secret archive for debian insiders .... - How I can fix this with out : - grabbing the source and recompiling it all myself - upgrading the whole client machine to squeeze or some newer release
Thanks in advance
