Comment 8 for bug 1077105

now it's already July and there are still no updated packages for 12.04 LTS.

The upstream tar archive of the 3.3.1 version (pool/universe/a/amanda/amanda_3.3.1.orig.tar.gz) already contains patched pm-files:

test@test:~/temp/test$ diff amanda-3.3.1/perl/Amanda/Recovery/Planner.pm /usr/lib/amanda/perl/Amanda/Recovery/Planner.pm

Why don't you just use them as patches in the 3.3.0 in 12.04 LTS?
