Package: backupninja Version: 0.9.8.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi.
I think I've implemented a potential fix for this (I consider this lack of locking a bug, as it can stop long backups to work at all). See my proposed change here : http://git.debian.org/?p=users/olberger-guest/backupninja.git;a=blobdiff;f=src/backupninja.in;h=f6a5b0e9faf61372703dd2e260d8640cd97abc2d;hp=aadc162175a1a16e8c1bb37538c5680123e47ddb;hb=c5832421a551550a87dc4ff1062ae659b67b332e;hpb=6ad15139e00ef378ee035b15c25cf7a40127e689 It uses flock from util-linux. I think it is preferable to the use of lckdo, which seems to be deprecaded, now that flock is there. Hope this helps.
