[Bug 445154] Re: package backuppc 3.1.0-4ubuntu1.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[3vi1]

I found the real problem:

During the install, all of the directories are being created as owned by
root:root.  Changing them to be owned by the backuppc ID eliminates the
failure:

Either these are different file systems, or this file system doesn't support hardlinks, or these directories don't exist, or there is a permissions problem, or the file system is out of inodes or full.  Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to check each of these possibilities. Quitting...
