Package: rdiff-backup Version: 1.2.8-7 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm trying to backup a path that ends in a symlink (pointing to a directory) *from* a remote machine. This fails on the remote side: Fatal Error: Source /.snapshots/latest is not a directory (Note that adding a trailing slash to the argument does not change the error message at all, i.e., it gets stripped off somewhere.) This is similar to #206252, except that's ancient and supposedly fixed.
