Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 1.1.5-4
Severity: grave


Just to summarize, so nobody else gets bitten: The maintainer
has badly screwed up and included an unsupported experimental 
version (1.1.5) in etch (stable). This version is not compatible
with the current upstream stable (1.0.5) or development (1.1.15)
versions of rdiff-backup. This means you cannot back up a Debian
testing machine, a machine with a different Linux distro or
a machine with a different OS to from/to a Debain stable machine 
if you install the rdiff-backup package from Debian etch. You
may also find that you cannot access your old backups made with 
etch when you upgrade to lenny. 

So while the maintainer is bitching around, refuses to clean 
up his own mess and generally damages the reputation of Debian,
I suggest installing the 1.1.15  version from the original site 
here:

    http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/

Note that you cannot install the package from lenny, since it 
requires Python 2.5 for some reason. The upstream 1.1.15 package 
is happy with Python 2.4. and rdiff-backup 1.1.15 installs cleanly 
on etch with it. You need the Python and librsync header files 
(python-dev, librsync-dev) but that is basically it.

I recommend installing with prefix /usr/local as described
in the README and to lock rdiff-backup in the uninstalled
state in the Debian package manager.
