Description of problem: I get this error after upgrade from fc7 to fc8 during amcheck (and the actual backup does not work): WARNING: swing: selfcheck request failed: error sending REQ: send REQ to swing.yars.free.net failed: Socket operation on non-socket Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): amanda-2.5.2p1-8.fc8 How reproducible: always Additional info: strace shows that amanda tries to do sendto on file descriptor 0 (zero), and I could not find any relevant socket call (except those for DNS queries). sendto(0, "Amanda 2.5 REQ HANDLE 000-000000"..., 125, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(10080), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::ffff:193.233.48.88", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28) = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket operation on non-socket)
Could you send your configuration? What auth/tpchanger do you use? I need more information to reproduce this. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #1) I encountered the same problem. I believe the answer lies in having a kernel that does not support IPv6. When I rebuilt amanda with the "--without-ipv6" configuration option, the amcheck error went away. I normally build customized kernels without IPv6 since we don't use it at the moment.
I also have a custom kernel without ipv6, so this must be the problem.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
