Subject: [cobalt-users] backup trouble


Hello

Until 2 days ago the scheduled backup from my RAQ3 worked fine.
But since 2 days I get a message from cron.daily:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Net::FTP::I" at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/IO/Socket.pm line 253.

I've searched the archives but couldn't fined a solution. The
backup .raq files are made in /tmp but the don't end up on my
backup server.

Any suggestions?
---------------------------------

It looks like some perl code got incorrectly altered somewhere.

The error message seems to be reference a package "Net::FTP::I"
that I don't believe exists. In fact, the only package directly
referenced by the Net::FTP module appears to be Net::FTP, there is
no Net::FTP::I package any place.

The code in my version of
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/IO/Socket.pm at line 253
would appear to me to be different from yours. I.E. there is
no reference to _any_  method named 'new'. My version of
this module is 1.25. What do you get when you do:

perl -MIO::Socket -e 'print "$IO::Socket::VERSION\n"'

Of perhaps more probative value is, what does the code
at line 253 in your /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/IO/Socket.pm 
look like?
