When I run rdiff-backup on my Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) I receive the this warning:
---------------------------------------- andr...@halleck:~$ rdiff-backup a/ b/ Warning: Your version of pyxattr (unknown) has broken support for extended attributes on symlinks. If you choose not to upgrade to a more recent version, you may see many warning messages from listattr(). Warning: Your version of pyxattr (unknown) has broken support for extended attributes on symlinks. If you choose not to upgrade to a more recent version, you may see many warning messages from listattr(). andr...@halleck:~$ ---------------------------------------- Seems quite strange considering Hardy provides an updated 0.2.2 of pyxattr. If I'm not mistaken completely that's a version where the support for extended attributes on symlinks is fixed http://git.k1024.org/pyxattr.git/?a=blob_plain;f=NEWS;hb=HEAD Of course, the warning refers to an "unknown" version, so perhaps I guess the problem might be related to the detection of pyxattr version. Also, it seems like a quite load warning, especially when ran on source which doesn't even contains any symlinks. This warning is not present in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid). That versions of Ubuntu includes pyxattr 0.4.0. -- Andreas Olsson http://www.andreasolsson.se/
