RE: [rdiff-backup-users] Security Violation

[Jeff Burns]

I updated to 1.1.7, but still have the same problem. 

I used these commands to make the update:
wget
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-1.1.7.tar.gz

tar xzf rdiff-backup-1.1.7.tar.gz
cd rdiff-backup-1.1.7
python setup.py install

I did not apply rpath-fsync.patch this time. Is it still needed? Do I need
to do something else?
