I don't see any user error here.
Just observing that the error occurs because we rely on a file being
there when we haven't even documented that it needs to be there for it
to work. File deletion with %r from the archive would not have removed
that file at that point. We should have an explicit statement about
which files can be deleted from the archive and which should not be, but
in general it is dangerous to remove files that have not been explicitly
described as removable.
When you create a new base backup, you shouldn't need any files archived
before starting the backup. You might not even have had archiving
enabled before that, or you might change archive_command to archive into
a new location before tarting the backup.
