Hello,
First of all sorry for my poor English. Today and yesterday I was trying
to configure rdiff-backup using the package slbackup from debian-edu. I
have a lot of problems related with Overflow, differnet versions,
etc.... I tried diferent versions of rdiff-backup, diferent machines I
compiled the code and debuged the error, I read about python and long
int, ints ...... I see some threads about this topic or related and
somebody tells that perhaps it was a problem with python version 2.3. I
tried 2.4 version without succes....
Finally It was all easier!!!!! The problem is that rdiff-backup use ssh
to connect to the remote machine, execute commands like echos or similar
and parse the output.... My problem was that i have some echos in
.baschrc file in the home of the remote user (root).
I have something like:
echo "====================="
echo " You are connectec as root! Be careful
echo "====================="
This was processed by rdiff-backup as garbage an this was the origin of
all problems. Afeter removing echos from .bashrc all started to work!
I expect that this message coul help somebody....
Maybe it coul be possible to use another method in new versions of rdiff
in order to avoid this kind of errors....
bye
