[rdiff-backup-users] Once again: RPath instance has no attribute 'inc_compressed'

[Peter Schuller]

Hello,

this problem seems to have been touched on before:

  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2006-03/msg00039.html
  http://osdir.com/ml/sysutils.backup.rdiff-backup.general/2006-08/msg00036.html

I believe someone also re-opened a launchpad bug on this.

I got this again for a second time in a while. I believe, but am not
sure, it was triggered after the backup failed mid-way due to a
connectivity problem. Stack trace in my case:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in <module>
    rdiff_backup.Main.error_check_Main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 302, 
in error_check_Main
    try: Main(arglist)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 322,

    return apply(self.connection.reval, (self.name,) + args)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rdiff_backup/connection.py", 
line 370, in reval
    if isinstance(result, Exception): raise result
AttributeError: RPath instance has no attribute 'inc_compressed'

In my case I still have 1.2.0 on the local host and 1.2.1 on the
remote end; I'll rectifiy that just in case.

Right now I'll be re-running to get a clean slate, but I have the
"broken" (presumably) destination directory left. May have a look if I
have time, but in the mean time if anyone has anything to contribute
on the topic...
