Re: [Duplicity-talk] Upgrade/rollback difficulties

[Russell Clemings]

Is this warning something to worry about?

/usr/local/src/duplicity-0.6.23/duplicity/librsync.py:29: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module _librsync: This Python has API version 1013, module _librsync has version 1012.
  import _librsync

The backup appears to continue, and finishes successfully, and when I try to restore some random files from the backup, it works. So I'm tempted to ignore the warning.

It's Python 2.6.9.

yes, unfortunately though new releases still fix bugs. not aware of a showstopper as fixed in 0.6.23 though.

if you checked
 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/duplicity/0.6-series/view/head:/CHANGELOG
and did a backup/verfiy run
and run verify periodically
you should be on the safe side.
