[rdiff-backup-users] trouble with rdiff-backup 1.1.16 on ubuntu intrepid after upgrading from 1.1.15

[Hans-Christian Armingeon]

Hi,

I'm having some troubles with rdiff-backup 1.1.16.

I hade a backup directory, which I had been using with version 1.1.15. After the upgrade, I wanted to do a backup. The backup directory ran out of space.

rdiff-backup --check-destination-dir fails with the error appended below. I tried this with verison 1.1.16 and 1.2.2. Could anyone give me a pointer, what to do?

Many thanks in advance,

Hans-Christian
