I discovered two invalid links under python-support which seem to have been causing this problem. My system currently has:
python version: 2.6.6-3+squeeze7 python-support version: 1.0.10 I received the following report from Tiger Auditing: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/python-support.pth is a dangling symlink /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/python-support.pth is a dangling symlink After reinstalling python-support, then manually replacing both symlinks with a link to the python2.6 directory, rdiff-backup successfully ran last night (with the typical "os.popen2 is deprecated" errors, for which there is already an outstanding bug report). It appears that the above issue was caused by a corrupt or incomplete installation of python-support. As such, this bug report may be considered resolved and closed. As a side note, is anyone aware of the invalid symlinks being created under the python2.4 and python2.5 folders? As mentioned previously, this is a new installation of squeeze, so the machine never had those versions of python installed. I assume the folders exist for backwards compatibility, but I am wondering if a new bug should be created to remove or replace the bad symlinks? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
