header.pl and constants.pm are in the ibackup directory but perl on debian does not look in the local directory for @INC.

to fix copy both header.pl and Constants.pm into /etc/perl/

Until backupninja gets the fixes pushed out to the Debian repo (PT ticket #35353), errors like these may be reported by backupninja:

<pre>

    CRITICAL - 38 errors or warnings

*Resolution:* add @partitions = no@ to job 15/in @15-info.sys@.

h3. Removing old versions of interpreters. 

PHP5 (and Ruby 2.1) are not removed by default and will still be used if loaded! 

If there is no need for these things to exist remove them with apt-get uninstall.
