Hi, You could simply install the libraries with pip: `sudo pip3 install pylibacl pyxattr` (or with `pip3 install --user ...` if you only want to use rdiff-backup under one specific user). Just make sure you don't install both via rpm and pip. The README [1] describes how to install the wheel.
@Frank the dependencies py3libacl and python3-pyxattr of the RPM should only be recommendations IMHO Hope this helps, Eric [1] https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup#on-linux On January 6, 2020 4:26:40 AM UTC, Robert Nichols <[email protected]> wrote: >On 1/5/20 5:00 PM, Marcin Zajączkowski wrote: >> CCing Dan which introduced python3-pyxattr in EPEL some time ago. >> >> On 2020-01-05 22:12, Robert Nichols wrote: >>> Installing version 1.4.0b0-1-el8 from the frankcrawford COPR fails >with >>> missing dependencies py3libacl and python3-pyxattr.
