Description Guillaume Rousse 2019-07-06 18:38:19 CEST

The officiel release tarball for backup-manager 0.7.15 is incorrect, and uses a broken install logic. As a consequences, the backup-manager executable looks for its component in non-existing places, as shown by the following error:

[guillaume@host ~]$ sudo backup-manager
/sbin/backup-manager: line 62: /home/iurt/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/backup-manager-0.7.15-2.mga7.i386//usr/lib/backup-manager/externals.sh: No such file or directory

The backup-manager-0.7.15-2.1.mga7 release, submitted to 7/updates_testing, fix this issue by using another source tarball, directly created from upstream git repository.
