Perl_Gthr_key_ptr error on fresh install of Amanda 3.3.3 on Debian 7 Wheezy

[muckluck89]

This week I've been trying to bring up a new Amanda Server to do backups for the small company I work at. So far I've been successful at installing Debian 7, and installing the Amanda 3.3.3 package from: [url]http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.3.3/Debian-6.0/[/url] I had already tried installing Amanda using apt-get, however it ran into many more problems, so I restarted again yesterday.

I've been following the guide found at: [url]http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/GSWA/Build_a_Basic_Configuration[/url]
So far so good, until I've reached the "Check" section. I can try to run the following command with the results bellow:

[email protected]:~$ /usr/sbin/amcheck TestConfig

(brought to you by Amanda 3.3.3)

I've spent all morning googling this Perl_Gthr_key_ptr, and I found that I have a newer version of perl installed, as shown bellow:

[email protected]:~$ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 80 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

I've also tried installing apt-get install libperl-dev and libxml-simple-perl without any luck.

I'm thinking the package of Amanda is trying to use an outdated version of perl. How can I fix this problem? I would rather just point Amanda to the newer installation of perl, instead of force installing an outdated version perl or restarting from scratch on debian 6.

Thank you!!!

I dropped Debian for Ubuntu 12.04. I used the appropriate Amanda .deb packaged, and the perl issues are solved.
