[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff backup failed (unknown reason)

[Philippe Froidevaux]

Hi,

since the last 14 days rdiff-backup failed :/  (see below the log file 
of yesterday - I can give all 14 error report if needed...).

It seems that even the mirror is no more up-to-date.

I use rdiff-backup 0.12.6 (upgrade yesterday, was 0.12.3 before), rsync 
0.96, python 2.2, on Redhat 7.3.

What can I do ?


Thanks a lot,

Philippe.



Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
Warning, metadata file has entry for 
lv00/local/kickstart90/RedHat/RPMS/kde-i18n-Afrika86.r3.1-2.noarch.rpm,
but there are no associated files.
