Bug#269668: rdiff-backup: Backup to NFS directory works with 0.6.0-1, but not with 0.13.4-3 or 0.12.7-2
Package: rdiff-backup Version: 0.6.0-1 Followup-For: Bug #269668 After my crash problems with 0.13.4 I went to the rdiff-backup homepage at http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/ and downloaded the RPM of 0.12.7. A quick "alien rdiff-backup-0.12.7-1.i386.rpm" provided me with a *.deb and I tried backing up with this. It crashed, too, seemingly with the same errors (see original bug report). Then I downgraded to 0.6.1 from stable and -- voila! -- it worked again. So there seems to be a problem with the handling of either symbolic links or (rather) NFS directories mounted locally.
