Correct. Rdiff-backup only guarantees compatibility between stable releases, eg: 1.2.0, 1.2.1, and 1.2.2 are compatible together and 1.0.5, 1.0.4, 1.0.3, etc.. The development series, 1.1.x, came with no backwards-compatible guarantees.
Ubuntu was shipping development releases, and can either update their old, buggy releases (there is already a bug open for that) or apply this patch to the version they ship. -- rdiff-backup crashes while accessing old data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
