Yup, that's why. It looks like you did your first few backups as 'hew' and then all subsequent backups as root.
The code to check for this situation examines the ownership of the 'char_to_quote' file, which is the first file that rdiff-backup attempts to access. Since that file is owned by 'hew' and read/write, then rdiff- backup assumes all is well and continues on. Guess I'll add another round of checks... -- rdiff-backup crashed with IOError in __init__() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329722 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
