You can try to remove it with the command
sudo apt-get --purge remove backuppc
and then reinstall it using
sudo apt-get install backuppc
Do you notice similar results?

I removed it then reinstalled it using apt-get I got the same results.
The other thing that it said is the email could not be configured.
I am running the internet through another computer "dialup"
so I don't have our basic email set up on this computer.

Maybe it depends on wwwconfig-common, as stated in bug #18795.
