Also, This update package corrects/improves the definition of variables in config.pl, the configuration file of backuppc: the variables SshPath, SmbClientPath, NmbLookupPath, TarClientPath, TopDir. As a result, backuppc should now run with the default values installed by the Mageia package, modifications of config.pl should only be required for defining site-specific settings.
