[rdiff-backup-users] checking destination dir fails

[Dominik Sandjaja]

Hello everybody,

rdiff-backup is version 1.2.1 on a debian machine. Backup-Directory was
created with version 1.1.15, but I only upgraded because I got the same
error with that version and hoped, it would vanish with the new
version ...

Problem is: when doing
  rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir /home/backup/laptop
on the backup-server, I get the following error:

(Sorry for the formatting, any idea how to change this in evolution?)

I searched the web and the mailing list for this "Bad index
order"-error, but could not find a solution. In the FAQ it is mentioned,
but as I don't get it during backup but during check-destination, I
don't know how to circumvent the error.

Any help is appreciated, I would love to do a fresh backup without
loosing my old ones ...

Greetings,
Dominik
