>Description:
The version of amanda in the package system is 2.3.0. Not
only is this out of date in the 2.3 series (2.3.0.5 has been
released, which uses configure & is hence much easier to use),
but 2.4.0b6 is out, which fixes a serious security hole. I
recommend the amanda package be removed for the time being;
I'm prepared to make up a 2.4.0b6 package (and for that matter
a 2.3.0.5 version, as that is what we use around here), but
don't have the time at the moment.
