[rdiff-backup-users] status of fix for "AttributeError: RPath instance has no attribute 'inc_compressed' ?

[roland]

Hello !

 

I`ve come across the following error today:

 

 

Previous backup seems to have failed, regressing destination now.

The hint at  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2006-03/msg00038.html has helped here.

 

I think it`s an important fix, because i would have needed to setup a new rdiff-backup repository without that.

 

Does somebody know, when/if this is going to become an "official" fix for that problem ?

 

regards
