Dear Maintainer, backuppc, a perl program does not start (related bugs: #855617 and #856504) error message: "Can't locate strict.pm: /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28.1/strict.pm: Permission denied at /usr/share/backuppc/lib/realindex.cgi line 48" searching the internet (see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2526804/how-is-perls-inc-constructed-aka-what-are-all-the-ways-of-affecting-where-pe) showed the reason: the search path included directories, which did not exist or were not searchable by user "backuppc". searching the include path shows: perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC' NOT sufficient, that the directory exists, it must be searchable by the user starting the perl script. The directories under /usr/local may be empty, but MUST exist. This is especially annoying because the search path contains versioned directories, eg. .../perl/5.28.1/. Workaround: the include path @INC is a compiled-in default, but can be prepended with a list of directories by setting the env-variable PERL5LIB. therefore list all system dirs, so the ones under /usr/local are NEVER touched PERL5LIB=/etc/perl:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28:/usr/share/perl5:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28:/usr/share/perl/5.28:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base
