[rdiff-backup-users] 'long int too large to convert to int' in error_check_Main at line 302?

[Marcel Partap]

Hi folks,
i use rdiff-backup through a tool called backup ninja... up to some days
ago everything was fine but then suddenly (i am daily updating my home
station and the server) i got:
Fatal: rdiff-backup does not have the same version at the source and at the
destination.
rdiff-backup are both 1.2.1 and the version variable is set so too. Python
is 2.5.2 on both machines. As the site is launching tomorrow i need to
backup ASAP so i looked around a bit and put ignore_version = yes into my
config file. Then i tested it, this is the result:
