[debian-mysql] Bug#607796: Should include "lvs=/sbin/lvs" option in default /etc/mylvmbackup.conf

[David Garabana Barro]

Package: mylvmbackup
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Option "lvs=" is not included in default /etc/mylvmbackup.conf
If you launch backupfrom a root shell, it makes no difference, because /sbin
is in root's path. But if you launch it from a cron job, it fails with te   
following error:

't exec "lvs": No existe el fichero o el directorio at /usr/bin/mylvmbackup
        line 734 (#1)
    (W exec) A system(), exec(), or piped open call could not execute the
    named program for the indicated reason.  Typical reasons include: the
    permissions were wrong on the file, the file wasn't found in
    $ENV{PATH}, the executable in question was compiled for another
    architecture, or the #! line in a script points to an interpreter that
    can't be run for similar reasons.  (Or maybe your system doesn't support
    #! at all.)

        line 736 (#1)
    (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
    defined.  It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
    To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.
    
    To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell you the
    name of the variable (if any) that was undefined. In some cases it
cannot
    do this, so it also tells you what operation you used the undefined
value
    in.  Note, however, that perl optimizes your program and the operation
    displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear literally in your 
    program.  For example, "that $foo" is usually optimized into "that "  
    . $foo, and the warning will refer to the concatenation (.) operator, 
    even though there is no . in your program.

This option will be the same for nearly all Debian users and cases, so it
should be put by default in configuration file.
