[Python-apps-team] Bug#587370: please fix rdiff-backup in debian stable or squeeze-backports

[Jelle de Jong]

Using the 1.2.8-6 rdiff-backup in debian stable also breaks the
backupninja scripts in many ways! The backupninja setup does a sanity
check and it fails hard! During the runs it generates warnings that will
be sent to the administrator everyday!

There is also no updated version in squeeze-backports. Please fix this
issue in debian stable/testing or make a squeeze-backports release so
users at leasted have a option to install something that ain’t broken.

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
