I just looked and it appears that this version of dump has never been successfully built on mips or mipsel, which blocks it from being promoted to testing. Checking the autobuilder build logs, it looks like the root cause may be a toolchain problem, though it's an error message I've never seen before. https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=dump&ver=0.4b42-2&arch=mips&stamp=1259085131&file=log Chasing down that error message, it looks like this is indeed believed to a toolchain issue, fixed by: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-09/msg02070.html I don't know, offhand, if this patch is reflected in the current Debian gcc packages. If so, then perhaps I just need to request that the mips and mipsel autobuilders retry the builds?

I've made those changes in my git repo for the next Debian package upload. Hopefully Stelian will also fix those in his next release, I see you've copied him on this. > Quite nice! Thanks for testing this so thoroughly. I myself back up two servers with ext4 file systems using amanda and dump quite happily. Bdale
