EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue: During the restoring process of my websites I'm getting the message :
Warning: syntax error, unexpected '~' in /home/websites/<website>/installation/extrainfo.ini on line 5 in /home/websites/<website>/installation/angie/platform/models/main.php on line 299

Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in /home/websites/<website>/installation/angie/platform/models/main.php on line 302

Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in /home/websites/<website>/installation/angie/platform/models/main.php on line 309

Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in /home/websites/<website>/installation/angie/platform/models/main.php on line 316

Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in /home/websites/<website>/installation/angie/platform/models/main.php on line 323

line 5 in extrainfo.ini contains php_version=5.4.25-1~dotdeb.1.
When I manually update the php version in extrainfo.ini tot php_version=5.4.25-1_dotdeb.1 no error occurs.

Installing the backup works fine and the website is completely working but it seems right to inform you about this issue.

Thank you for your feedback! This is just a cosmetic issue. The functionality of the restored site is not affected. In any case this is very easy to fix. We'll include this fix in the next release of Akeeba Backup.

Yep :) Again, thank you for the heads up! It seems that this is only triggered on Debian custom builds of PHP. All other version strings we have seen only contain numbers, letters, dots, dashes and underscores which do not trigger a PHP warning. For what is worth, the solution is really simple: I just added double quotes around the values in the extrainfo.ini file, just like we have been doing in databases.ini for pretty much the same reasons.
