innobackupex fails after Percona Server yum update

Hi,

On my Centos 5.5(final) box, I ran a yum update on my Percona-Server files and now xtrabackup fails with the following:

[root@dev06 backup]# innobackupex --password=XXX /backup

The versions I have installed now are:

These are the versions I have now where innobackupex fails:
[root@dev06 ~]# yum list installed | grep Percona

Please help! Thanks!

Check that your /etc/my.cnf file exists after the update, and that it contains the information that xtrabackup is looking for (a [mysqld] section and a datadir setting) - it may have been moved or altered as a result of doing the yum update.

Those are all still intact. I actually found the bug report for it last night, but just not sure how to get the fix.
Here is the link to the bug report, [URL]https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-xtrabackup/+bug/910206[/URL]
Thanks for the tip though!
