Package: rdiff-backup Version: 2.2.2-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: mister...@web.de
Dear Maintainer, when using rdiff-backup's compare action it reports the following error message when the source directory has newer or changed files compared to the backup dir: "ERROR: Action compare failed on step run" This behaviour can be easily reproduced by doing: $ mkdir source target $ cd source/ $ for file in file1 file2 file3; do head -c 1K /dev/urandom > $file; done $ cd .. $ rdiff-backup backup source/ target/ Now if the files have not changed it reports: $ rdiff-backup compare source/ target/ NOTE: No changes found. Directory matches archive data. However if one changes the modification time of one file $ touch source/file1 $ rdiff-backup compare source/ target/ changed: file1 ERROR: Action compare failed on step run I assume that this behaviour is a bug, either the error is reported mistakenly or the new version of rdiff-backup does not only list changed files on the compare action but tries to do something afterwards which fails.
