[rdiff-backup-users] Crashed: RORPath instance has no attribute 'path'

[Felix Kaiser]

Hi,

rdiff-backup just crashed (after running for an hour or so), and see
traceback below. Yay, two defects.

"music" is a directory which has been deleted since the last backup.
(For this backup drive, that was ca. a year ago. Yes, I have others.)
(I've moved it away because it slows down backups considerably.)

I'm using rdiff-backup v1.2.8 as packaged by Fedora 20.

(I wish rdiff-backup wasn't so bad at dealing with interrupted backups.)

If there's anything else anyone wants to know, just ask.

(Though since the last release was 5 years ago, I guess
noone will look into this. Well.)

Merry Christmas (in a few days)
Felix
