Bug Description

Fresh install of ubuntu 15.10 wily server on an amd64 machine - everything up to date.

When installing backuppc with 'apt-get install backuppc' I get the following error upon configuration of backuppc:

update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
Job for backuppc.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status backuppc.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript backuppc, action "start" failed.
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes backuppc (--configure):
 Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 backuppc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
root@server:~#

Any ideas on this?

It seems like there is a missing dependency. As soon as I install libsocket6-perl and then install backuppc, it seems to configure correctly.

Merge debdiff looks good, the only thing that was problematic was par2 didn't get dropped from the Build-Depends, so I fixed that.

Uploaded to xenial.

This bug was fixed in the package backuppc - 3.3.1-1ubuntu1

---------------
backuppc (3.3.1-1ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - debian/backuppc.init, debian/rules, debian/postinst: Do not call init
      script on shutdown and reboot (TearDown) (Closes: #488660).
    - debian/control:
      + Depend on default-mta | mail-transport-agent, instead of enumerating a
        long list of alternative MTAs.
      + Drop build dependency to 'par2', it's in universe.
      + Add build dependency on libsocket6-perl.
    - configure.pl: Do not test for par2 being available at build time.
  * Depend on libsocket6-perl as well as build-depend. LP: #1515986

backuppc (3.3.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * Now depends on libtime-parsedate-perl. Closes: #749879
  * Added support for IONICE in startup script. Closes: #772149
