Re: [rdiff-backup-users] ImportError: No module named rdiff_backup.Main

Reinstallation of the package with dpkg did not yield any favorable 
results. I've also tried to remove it all and install it again with apt-get.
This gave the same result:

address@hidden:/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6# apt-get install rdiff-backup

address@hidden:/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6# rdiff-backup -V
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 20, in <module>
    import rdiff_backup.Main
ImportError: No module named rdiff_backup.Main


I can try to purge it again and re-install it from sources, but if 
possible I'd like to have it in packages for updates.


Thanks again,
Alexander
