I just manually created the directory myself: ohnopublishing local # ls -lad /var/lib/anope/backups drwxr-xr-x 2 anope anope 48 Apr 4 00:08 /var/lib/anope/backups I _think_ that in 24 hours anope will backup properly to this directory. I assume that these messages are only caused because the directory did not already exist. Attached is a patch which adds this to the list of directories which the ebuild ensures exist.
OK, I'll just commit this myself as a net-irc member ;-). + 01 Jul 2012; Nathan Phillip Brink <binki@gentoo.org> anope-1.8.7.ebuild: + Ensure that /var/lib/anope/backups directory exists so that database backups + succeed, fixing bug #410741.
