# df -h

sid:/boot# rdiff-backup --remove-older-than now /boot/backup/
Fatal Error: Could not open rdiff-backup directory

/boot/backup/rdiff-backup-data

due to

[Errno 28] No space left on device:
'/boot/backup/rdiff-backup-data/rdiff-backup.tmp.0'

which means you're blocked, forced to manyally do some removals. Do you
consider rdiff-backup should clean the mess or has the user to deal with
it manually ?
