[Bug 932064] Re: amtape crash

[Rick Leir]

I am building from source. Reid, Thomas, please correct me.
 apt-get source amanda-common

Do not get glib like this (it gives glib2.32) because amanda needs an older version:
 NOT apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
 
Here is what I used:
 wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.18.1.1.tar.gz
 wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.18/glib-2.18.4.tar.gz

Build the packages in order: gettext then glib then amanda. Between builds say
 ldconfig

For the Amanda build I said:
 ./configure --with-user=backup

The default make install puts everything under /usr/local, and I like that because it does not overwrite the standard Amanda build products. However you need the file 
 /etc/ld.so.conf.d/amanda.conf
Containing
 /usr/local/lib/amanda

And say
 ldconfig

The builds succeed but I have not yet tested.

  [Impact]

  Without a fix, amanda-server is completely inoperable under Precise.

  [Test Case]

  Run the following commands as root.

  apt-get install amanda-server
  amtape

  [Regression Potential]

  It's difficult to regress from inoperable. See http://git.io/rv0chA
