[debian-mysql] Bug#751377: percona-xtrabackup: talks home without asking

[Bernd Zeimetz]

Package: percona-xtrabackup
Severity: serious

According to our firewall logs, percona xtrabackup tries to talk home 
without having explicit permission to do so. I think the code is 
somewhere around here:

innobackupex.pl

       my $advice = pingback(
          instances => $instances_to_check,
          protocol  => $protocol,
          url       => $args{url}                       # testing
                    || $ENV{PERCONA_VERSION_CHECK_URL}  # testing
                    || "$protocol://v.percona.com",
       );
