SOLVED CPANEL-40948 - Gzip Deprecated?

[dextert]

I recently switched from CentOS to Ubuntu and my backups are now showing this warning.

gzip: warning: GZIP environment variable is deprecated; use an alias or script

Everything I've found so far says to use tar instead of gzip in the command line. However, all of this is automated in WHM for me.
I haven't found a method in tweak or backup configuration that allows this to be changed.

Can i just ignore this for now and assume it will be corrected in the next release or is there something I can do to fix this warning?

Hey there! I was able to reproduce this issue on an Ubuntu system, so I'm creating a case with our developers now. I'll post another reply soon with more details.

I'll be sure to post an update here as well once I have more information on the case.

This is also appearing on CloudLinux.

Update - this is resolved in version 108.0.0 once that is released.

I am still getting this on cloudlinux 8.8

@screege - what cPanel version are you using?
