When I run rdiff-backup on my Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) I receive the this warning:
----------------------------------------
address@hidden:~$ rdiff-backup a/ b/
Warning: Your version of pyxattr (unknown) has broken support for extended
attributes on symlinks. If you choose not to upgrade to a more recent version,
you may see many warning messages from listattr().

----------------------------------------
Seems quite strange considering Hardy provides an updated 0.2.2 of pyxattr. If
I'm not mistaken completely that's a version where the support for extended
attributes on symlinks is fixed
http://git.k1024.org/pyxattr.git/?a=blob_plain;f=NEWS;hb=HEAD
Of course, the warning refers to an "unknown" version, so perhaps I guess the
problem might be related to the detection of pyxattr version.
Also, it seems like a quite load warning, especially when ran on source which
doesn't even contains any symlinks.
This warning is not present in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid). That versions of Ubuntu
includes pyxattr 0.4.0.
