Re: [Duplicity-talk] Problem loading librsync lib module

[Kenneth Loafman]

Hi MRob,

Please try the "official" source: https://launchpad.net/duplicity/0.7-series/0.7.14/+download/duplicity-0.7.14.tar.gz

Not sure what github repo you downloaded, so just playing it safe.

Also, please uninstall duplicity if it was previously installed via a repo.  They end up in different places and that can cause havoc.

You can find duplicity with:

$ find /usr -type f -name duplicity    # for the main

$ find /usr -type d -name duplicity   # for the library

Just remove them manually, especially if you find them in more than one location.  Then try the install from the tarball above.

...Ken

Yes - downloaded tar.gz file, untarred, ran "python setup.py install" no
install errors, but the errors as below that i canot solve.

appreciate if you have suggestion. it's ok if its a hack because it will
only be temporary on a system that needs to be decommissioned
