[rdiff-backup-users] Restoring from an old archive with a new rdiff-backup

[Jeff Lessem]

I am attempting to upgrade from rdiff-backup 0.10.2 to 0.12.1.  I
removed the old rdiff-backup, built and installed the new one, and then
tried to restore one of my existing increments, but that failed.

The command I ran was:

rdiff-backup -r 72D /software/backup/rdiff/home/lessem/tmp out

(72 days is arbitrary, and the restore works without a problem using
0.10.2.)

The traceback I get is below.  With 0.12.1 I can create a new archive,
and restore increments from that archive.  So I think 0.12.1 is
installed correctly.  I am happy to provide anymore information that
would be useful in solving this problem.
