Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 0.13.3.jgoerzen-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
when doing my first backup, I said --exclude /proc instead of
--exclude proc. After correcting this and re-invoking rdiff-backup,
the second backup run gave about 30 Klines of output like this:
|Processing changed file proc/9989/task/9989/attr/fscreate
|Exception '[Errno 22] Invalid argument' raised of class 'exceptions.IOError':
| File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rdiff_backup/robust.py", line 32, in

|

Having a backup program raising unhandled exceptions is quite
disturbing. Please consider properly handling this case.
Greetings

Hi,
Thanks for the report.

This issue has been solved by newer versions.
Please upgrade to the lastest version available in sid.
Feel free to reopen the bug if it's still present.
Bye,
