Okay I need some help here to figure out this traceback so I can get
rdiff-backup running properly.  I am trying to back up a FreeBSD-4.11 (client)
to a Fedora Core 4 machine (server).

installation of all rdiff-backup software was fine.  I've been using
rdiff-backup for some time now and this problem was recently introduced when I
upgraded to 1.0.4 .  Any clues what is going on here?


client side information:
# pkg_info | grep rdiff
rdiff-backup-1.0.4,1 Local/remote mirroring+incremental backup
# python -V
Python 2.4.2
# uname -a
FreeBSD hostname.hidden 4.11-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p3 #0: Sat Apr 16

server side information:
$ rdiff-backup -V
rdiff-backup 1.0.4
$ python -V
Python 2.4.1
$ uname -a

---- traceback from the client side ----

Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.
