>Description:
The misc/amanda-client port has been modified to remove dependency on
archivers/gtar since it is now included in the base system. However, the
/usr/local/libexec/sendbackup program the amanda-client port still calls
"gtar" directly by name. I discovered this when investigating why a backup
that seemed to have completed properly was missing a few filesystems from
FreeBSD servers.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
As a workaround:
# cd /usr/bin
# ln -s tar gtar
A fix would look similar to below, although I haven't investigated whether
other programs are involved. This hardcoded value sort of surprised me:
