Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: important
This was already reported in the (closed) bug report #493373. Since it
just happened to me with version 1.2.1 (both machines up-to-date lenny,
doing a remote backup), I submit a new report.
What happened: I did an initial backup locally. Then before trying the
first remote backup, I manually changed the UID/GUID on all files in the
backup (probably not the best idea. I did it anyway.). The first backup
after that failed because of network troubles. When I tried to restart
the backup, I got the following exception:
Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
Exception 'RPath instance has no attribute 'inc_compressed'' raised of
class '<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>':

I could actually rescue the backup by following the advice at:
