S3 Backup - Missing Perl module S3::AWSAuthConnect

Hi, I am trying to send virtualmin backups to my S3 space but get the following error: "Backup failed : The Perl module S3::AWSAuthConnection needed to communicate with Amazon's S3 service is not installed"

I've checked the forum and there is one topic related to this but it says the issue is resolved. I have checked the apt repositories (see my repositories below) but there's no sign of the missing module. Am I missing something??

deb ftp://mirror.hetzner.de/debian/packages etch main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://mirror.hetzner.de/debian/packages etch main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free

deb ftp://mirror.hetzner.de/debian/security etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://mirror.hetzner.de/debian/security etch/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/Debian/debian/ etch main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/Debian/debian/ etch main non-free contrib deb http://some:string@software.virtualmin.com/debian/ virtualmin-etch main

Note: "some:string" above replaces the actual string as I presume this is for accessing the commercial repository.

BTW I'm running virtualmin on debian etch.

Thanks, Patrick

I'm not sure if that's something they're expecting will be installed automatically or not -- but you can always go into Webmin -> System -> Others -> Perl Modules, and have it install S3::AWSAuthConnection from CPAN.

Yeah, there is a module called Muck::FS::S3::AWSAuthConnection in the CPAN repository but I prefer to stick to one source for updates if possible.
The previous topic relating to this issue didn't mention anything about installing the module from CPAN but did mention that dependencies should be in the apt repository.
I'm doing this on a production server so would rather keep the "hackedness" down to a minimum ;-)

Fair enough -- what I would do is pop your question into the bug tracker, and ask what there what the best way to handle your situation is :-)

Thanks,
