Build fails at configure step with:

checking for working IPv6... no
configure: error: IPv6 support was requested, but opening an IPv6 socket failed
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

I made a post at https://www.eevblog.com/forum/general-computing/lto-tape-usage-(modern-tape-drives)/ about using LTO tapes and amanda with example configs for using LTO-5 with zstd compression and aes-256-ctr encryption if that is of help to anyone.

I will also soon be submitting a AUR PKGBUILD for maminfo with which you can read LTO cartridges EEPROM memory for load count and read/write statistics.

It did not build for me today, until I made this change to PKGBUILD:

282,283c282,283
<     CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -g -rdynamic" \
<     CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -g -rdynamic" \
---
>     CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -g -rdynamic -fcommon" \
>     CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -g -rdynamic -fcommon" \

Without -fcommon, I get errors like this one:

/usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libtestutils.a(testutils.o):/disks/plain/backup/local/data/aur-sw/amanda/src/amanda-3.5.1/common-src/testutils.h:78: multiple definition of `tu_debugging_enabled'; event-test.o:/disks/plain/backup/local/data/aur-sw/amanda/src/amanda-3.5.1/common-src/testutils.h:78: first defined here

I see now, the group amandabackup has to exist during package creation otherwise amdump and such doesn't get the correct group set

magnade commented on 2017-06-26 21:25 (UTC)

the commands to move existing user over groupmod -n amandabackup amanda usermod -l amandabackup amanda usermod -d /var/lib/amanda amandabackup and I'm seeing -bash: /usr/bin/amdump: Permission denied when trying to run amdump from the new user
