[pkg-bacula-devel] Bug#902843: bacula-sd-pgsql: btape fill command fails in multivolume test. Fix available.

[Pierre Bernhardt]

Package: bacula-sd-pgsql
Version: 7.4.3+dfsg-1+sid1~bpo8+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the btape fill test fails ever due to an confirmed bug reported by Kern Sibald on
28.01.2017 12:34 at gmane.comp.bacula.user news:

* Update:  The problem of the btape fill command not working has been 
* around since about 2012.  I now have a fix for it, and can safely say 
* that the problem resulted from some debug code that apparently only 
* affected the btape fill command.  The debug code cleared some fields in 
* the block after the block was written.
* 
* So, bottom line: the failure is a false alert.
* 
* I will push a patch to the Bacula repository this weekend and will 
* consider releasing a version 7.4.5, since the fill command is important 
* when doing a new installation.

The test is essentiel for validation of tape drives. Can you fix it by
adding the patch to the release? 7.4.4 is also affected by this issue.
