Description: When migrating from backuppc V3 to V4 it is necessary to run a .configure.pl script to adjust the settings. I installed backuppc V4.0.0-3 on top of backuppc V3 and I believe the .configure.pl did not get run. This cause my rsync vbackups to fail.


Additional info:
I reported this as a bug to backuppc: https://sourceforge.net/p/backuppc/mailman/message/35727183/
The author of the package is telling me that configure.pl did not get run.



Steps to reproduce:
