Good catch, sorry for this. I can reproduce the issue. Interestingly 
enough. the local build works properly, it's only when built through the 
pipeline that it fails. I need to analyze this (pipeline errors are 
always a bit ugly to debug).

We had this already, not much we can do about it. Antivirus tools don't 
like the fact that rdiff-backup is a compressed file with an embedded 
interpreter (Python). If you have a contact, you can perhaps report the 
false positive.
