  • Target version changed from Tails_3.0~rc1 to Tails_3.0

Sorry, no time to deal with this before next week. Thankfully the data in this DB is not that critical.

This is https://0xacab.org/riseuplabs/backupninja/issues/11148. I’ve reviewed the corresponding pull request and requested some fixes. Once it’s done I’ll upload with this patch applied to Debian so we can upgrade.

Thankfully this failure only affects the nformation_schema DB, that we don’t care about backup’ing, so I propose we live with this email noise until the bug is fixed in backupninja: IMO the cost of implementing a temporary workaround is not worth it.
