[rdiff-backup-users] pb on debian sarge running on ultra sparc 5

[gart algar]

Hello everyone,
I tried to use rdiff-backup on an ultra sparc 5 computer, running debian 
sarge. Python version is 2.4.4.
Here is what I got when I run rdiff-backup :


$rdiff-backup /home/gart/Maildir /mnt/backup/backup/gart

Exception 'local variable 'ext_rp' referenced before assignment' raised 
of class 'exceptions.UnboundLocalError':

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'ext_rp' referenced before assignment

So I don't know what is wrong with my setup. Any ideas ?

Greetings,
