Update of backuppc (server) crashed on update

Binary package hint: backuppc

Just reporting a crash on a normal (if somewhat overdue) update using Update Manager.

This system has been off for a while and therefore had many updates. It happens to be configured as a backuppc server, and has a removable usb drive (MyBook) for its backup data. At the time the update was run, the backup drive was not attached.

I have not yet tried to run backups on this system so I don't know if more is broken. I also don't know if having a removable disk for a backuppc main directory is a common configuration. However, something crashed on the update and the system requested a bug report, so here it is.
