Hi Mark,
I just tested it. Unfortunately the package fails to install:
```
Preparing to unpack .../backintime-common_1.2.1-3ubuntu0.2_all.deb ...
Unpacking backintime-common (1.2.1-3ubuntu0.2) over (1.2.1-3ubuntu0.2) ...
Preparing to unpack .../backintime-qt_1.2.1-3ubuntu0.2_all.deb ...
Unpacking backintime-qt (1.2.1-3ubuntu0.2) over (1.2.1-3ubuntu0.2) ...
Setting up backintime-common (1.2.1-3ubuntu0.2) ...
File "/usr/share/backintime/common/snapshots.py", line 596
sid.path(use_mode = ['ssh', 'ssh_encfs'])
^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?
dpkg: error processing package backintime-common (--install):
installed backintime-common package post-installation script subprocess
returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of backintime-qt:
backintime-qt depends on backintime-common (= 1.2.1-3ubuntu0.2); however:
Package backintime-common is not configured yet.
```
After looking at the code, I think line 596 is indeed missing a comma at
the end.

Bug description:
Backintime uses rsync to perform updates. Unfortunately there is an
incompatibility between the currently released version of backintime
and rsync >= 3.2.4 (see https://github.com/bit-
team/backintime/issues/1247)
Rsync has been updated from 3.2.3 to 3.2.7 on Feb 27. This broke
backintime backups. The symptom is an error message like this:
Command "rsync -a --delete --rsh=ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=240 -o
LogLevel=Error -o IdentityFile=/home/aurelien/.ssh/backintime -p 22
/tmp/tmpxilwcwk4/
u...@example.com:"./backintime/switch/aurelien/1/20230308-230517-262""
returns 3 | rsync: change_dir#3
"/data/home/user//"./backintime/switch/aurelien/1" failed: No such
file or directory (2)
The workaround described in the GitHub issue works (passing `--old-
args` to rsync), but maybe it would be better if the backintime
package did this automatically?
