I get the this error (could be after the last update) in backupninjas' mails. The logs show the error was there before, maybe it was only not printed in the mail before?

Sep 02 08:14:39 Info: >>>> starting action /etc/backup.d/10.sys (because of --now) Sep 02 08:14:42 Info: executing of /sbin/dmsetup failed Sep 02 08:14:43 Info: <<<< finished action /etc/backup.d/10.sys: SUCCESS

Strange enough, dmsetup is there:

ll /sbin/dmsetup

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 124584 Aug 15 12:03 /sbin/dmsetup

I'm running on debian: executing of /sbin/dmsetup failed

I don't think my conf has changed:

cat /etc/backup.d/10.sys

packages = yes partitions = yes dosfdisk = yes hardware = yes luksheaders = no lvm = no

packagesfile = /var/backups/dpkg-selections.txt

selectionsfile = /var/backups/debconfsel.txt

partitionsfile = /var/backups/partitions.star.txt

hardwarefile = /var/backups/hardware.txt

luksheadersfile = /var/backups/luksheader.star.bin

If vservers = yes in /etc/backupninja.conf then the following variables can

be used:

vsnames = all | ... (default = all)
