Package: rdiff-backup Version: 1.2.8-6 Severity: important I have two newly created Squeeze 6.0.6 installations from which I am attempting to perform daily backups. Both systems have the same package versions as shown below. The first system has been performing regular backups for the past month, however the second system, built last week, is issuing the error shown in the traceback below. I have thus far not been able to create the initial backup on this new system.
The command issued on both servers to perform a backup: # rdiff-backup --exclude-device-files --exclude-fifos --exclude-sockets --exclude '/core' --exclude '/lost+found' --exclude '/tmp/*' --exclude '/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/*' --exclude '/var/log/*' --include '/var' --exclude-other-filesystems / <backup-server-name>::/Backup/$HOSTNAME -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages rdiff-backup depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii librsync1 0.9.7-7 rsync remote-delta algorithm libra ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze7 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-support 1.0.10 automated rebuilding support for P Versions of packages rdiff-backup recommends: ii python-pylibacl 0.5.0-3 module for manipulating POSIX.1e A ii python-pyxattr 0.5.0-3 module for manipulating filesystem rdiff-backup suggests no packages. -- no debconf information Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 30, in <module> rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 304, in error_check_Main try: Main(arglist) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 324, in Main take_action(rps) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 280, in take_action elif action == "backup": Backup(rps[0], rps[1]) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 346, in Backup backup.Mirror(rpin, rpout) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/rdiff_backup/backup.py", line 38, in Mirror DestS.patch(dest_rpath, source_diffiter) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line 450, in __call__ return apply(self.connection.reval, (self.name,) + args) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/rdiff_backup/connection.py", line 370, in reval if isinstance(result, Exception): raise result OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
