Hello everyone,
Have you all checked your backups (with raqbackup.sh) after the big 
updates? For me it broke perl-Compress-Zlib and made raqbackup stop 
working together with CMU. I noticed when my backup was 15 MB instead of 
a couple of Gigs..

The error you see in output-cmuexport.log is:
ERROR createTar: Compression not available.

What you need to do is this:
$ wget 
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Zlib-1.33.tar.gz
$ tar xfvpz Compress-Zlib-1.33.tar.gz
$ cd Compress-Zlib-1.33
# /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make install

----

After this everything worked for me again. I think I will have to mask 
the update from CentOS though.. In Gentoo Portage this is so easy, but 
with Yum I think it's too hard to have granular control.

I got the solution from this thread:

So, thanks, Brian! :)

PS. I'm out of popcorn. Is the flame war over, or do I need to buy some 
more?
