Ignoring windows installs, rdiff-backup is not even compiled iirc, so
installing it from scratch is one of the most trivial "installs from
source" you can do.

Do read down to the requirements section of the project page and make

requirements have changed in a long while, so you should not have
anything you need to change, but do check.
