That's what is strange.  This is a fresh install of Lubuntu 26.04, with =
backuppc installed from the ubuntu packages.  The 26.04 release just dro=
pped a week or so ago, so maybe there was some problem with its original=
 packaging.

Ubuntu =E2=80=93 Details of package backuppc in resolute <https://packag=
es.ubuntu.com/resolute/backuppc>
