Description Kirk Strauser 2003-10-10 17:20:08 UTC 
The misc/amanda-client port has been modified to remove dependency on
archivers/gtar since it is now included in the base system.  However, the
/usr/local/libexec/sendbackup program the amanda-client port still calls
"gtar" directly by name.  I discovered this when investigating why a backup
that seemed to have completed properly was missing a few filesystems from
FreeBSD servers.

Fix: As a workaround:

  # cd /usr/bin
  # ln -s tar gtar

A fix would look similar to below, although I haven't investigated whether
other programs are involved.  This hardcoded value sort of surprised me:



start_index(options->createindex, dumpout, mesgf, indexf, indexcmd);

-       my_argv[i++] = "gtar";
+       my_argv[i++] = "tar";
        my_argv[i++] = "--create";
        my_argv[i++] = "--file";
        my_argv[i++] = "-";--ry5fonxNJNOMKFqdrXfE0t6TeTORn4vZuHHqhyUcD8jB4FNk
