Fresh install of backuppc 3.3.0-1ubuntu1 under 14.04 server; with no changes to the configuration, as a test ran full backup on host = localhost (just the /etc directory is selected by default). Backup fails with "no ping response." Able to

ping -c 1 localhost as backuppc user.

The original /etc/backuppc/config.pl file includes:

$Conf{PingPath} = '/bin/ping';
$Conf{Ping6Path} = '';

Solved by inserting /bin/ping6 :

$Conf{PingPath} = '/bin/ping';
# inserted '/bin/ping6' for default '':
$Conf{Ping6Path} = '/bin/ping6';
After backuppc restart, ping on the localhost host no longer fails.
