Description of problem: rsnapshot uses the perl module Lchown, presumably to adjust the ownership of symbolic links if these have been backed up. However, Lchown's not in the Fedora packages. I'm running rsnapshot on f9 and f10, but have only spotted the problem on f9 - the f10 use is very limited. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): f9, rsnapshot-1.3.0-1.fc8.noarch (I'm pretty sure that this was a vanilla f9 install, so I'm guessing that's the f9 rpm. How reproducible: I've not managed to pin this down completely, but I get it everyday on my f9 box. Here's some extracts from /var/log/rsnapshot: [31/May/2009:12:00:02] require Lchown [31/May/2009:12:00:02] Lchown module not found [31/May/2009:12:00:02] /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly: started [31/May/2009:12:00:02] Setting locale to POSIX "C" [31/May/2009:12:00:02] echo 25222 > /var/run/rsnapshot.pid : I've found references to this issue on other linux distros with the usual recommendation that one downloads the module from CPAN. Either such an install should be part of the setup, or all relevant dependencies should be included in the distro/updates. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I've not had the time to work out the impact of this issue, nor to nail down where it's broken. If more info's needed, I'll dig it out.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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.

As far as I can tell (and I haven't reproduced the detail, the impact of this error is that symlinks will have the wrong owner in backups, which is a potential security hole, I think. I'm assuming that I'm doing the right thing by changing the state to assigned, rather than raising a complete new bug and copying the information over.
