Re: Version mismatches - upgrade on Ubuntu 22.04 from rdiff-backup 2.0.5 to 2.2.2 or 2.2.6

[EricZolf]

Hi Dominic,

Mixing 2.2.x shouldn't be an issue unless you hit one of the issues listed in 
the changelog. 

Regarding PPA, Otto announced a long time ago that he needs co-maintainers. 
Volunteers are required to take on the task. 

Without this, your option is to use pip to install rdiff-backup as described in 
the main README.

Hope this helps, Eric
