As per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers I am requesting package maintainer "Bernard Johnson" (FAS: bjohnson) to fix the current issue in EPEL7, but he seems nonresponsive: A simple fix is needed for the EPEL7 package to work properly after a reboot: diff --git a/BackupPC.spec b/BackupPC.spec index 2ca5237..803e5f7 100644 --- a/BackupPC.spec +++ b/BackupPC.spec @@ -5,8 +5,8 @@ %global _without_selinux 1 %endif -# tmpfiles.d & systemd support in all supported Fedora now, but not RHEL -%if 0%{?fedora} +# tmpfiles.d & systemd support in all supported Fedora now, but not RHEL < 7 +%if 0%{?fedora} || 0%{?rhel} >= 7 %global _with_tmpfilesd 1 %global _with_systemd 1 %endif Reasons to suspect bjohnson has abandoned his packages: - His email bounces: Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups: bjohnson (bjohnson) Your message wasn't delivered. Despite repeated attempts to deliver your message, the recipient's email system refused to accept a connection from your email system. Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) and ask them to tell their email admin that it appears that their email system is refusing connections from your email server. Give them the error details shown below. It's likely that the recipient's email admin is the only one who can fix this problem. For Email Admins No connection could be made because the target computer actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the remote host - that is, one with no server application running.

Hey Benjamin. I can get this patch applied and update pushed, however, it's hoped that you might like to take over maintainership? If so, drop me an email and I'd be happy to help you get setup and do the update yourself. If you would rather not, I can push the update and orphan the package in hopes someone else will take it. ;(
Thank you Kevin :) I have just emailed you.
