amcheck-device terminated with signal 11 with Amazon S3 Tapedevice.

[RobertPHeller]

I am using Amanda 3.5.1 from the Debian 12 repo:

backup@sharky5:~$ dpkg-query -l amanda\*|grep ^ii ii amanda-client 1:3.5.1-11+deb12u1 amd64 Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Client) ii amanda-common 1:3.5.1-11+deb12u1 amd64 Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Libs) ii amanda-server 1:3.5.1-11+deb12u1 amd64 Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Server)

And using the stock amanda-S3.conf, with some minor changes, I am get and error from amcheck:

`backup@sharky5:~$ amcheck sharky5
Amanda Tape Server Host Check

what am I doing wrong?

Hey @RobertPHeller,

I can try to help you. Could you share the amanda.conf (redact any secret keys or bucket names) file you have created for the config sharky5.

Maybe related to #94

I found the problem, and found the solution in another man page. It appears that the changer config from 3.3 does not work with 3.5. I needed a more elaberate value for the change-multi. Amcheck is not crashing now. I think there is a problem with amcheck-device where it fails to properly report configuration errors and just crashes without a proper error message.
