Thank you for taking the time to report a bug and sorry for the long delay in replying.

Based on the output from DpkgTerminalLog.txt:

apache2: Syntax error on line 216 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/backuppc.conf: No such file or directory
Your MPM seems to be threaded. Selecting cgid instead of cgi.
Module cgid already enabled
Not replacing deleted config file /etc/backuppc/config.pl
* Starting backuppc... [149G grep: /etc/backuppc/config.pl: No such file or directory
BackupPC cannot be started because important parameters are missing from config.pl.
If you just upgraded BackupPC, please update /etc/backuppc/config.pl.

It is very likely that this problem was caused by a local configuration issue. The file /etc/backuppc/config.pl had been deleted before the upgrade process, which caused the backuppc error. There seems to be another error affecting apache2 as well.

For that reason, I am closing this bug as Invalid. Feel free to reopen it if you still experience the issue. Thank you.

Changed in backuppc (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Invalid
