Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 0.13.4-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I have been using rdiff-backup for daily backups of a working directory
for a quite a while now. Recently it stopped working (I cannot say for
sure if it was after I upgraded to 0.13.4-3, but I think so).
I am backing up a subfolder of my ~ dir to a directory on another machine
mounted via NFS. I have rwx-- on the backup target directory. Now,
I keep getting crashes when rdiff backup starts (Traceback see below).
I have tried backing up to another local folder. That works fine.
I have tried to access the NFS folder not through the symbolic link in
my ~, but through the path of the mount point. Didn't work either.
The strange thing is, I never changed the way I call rdiff-backup. This
was in a little shell script.
Kind regards
Andreas
