[rdiff-backup-users] Problem after upgrading to 0.12.0

[Troels Arvin]

Hello,

After upgrading to 0.12.0 and starting from scratch (old backup-data
removed), and running v. 0.12.0 for a day, I now get the error quoted
below. Any ideas, anyone?

Greetings from Troels Arvin


Error message:

Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
