Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 2.0.5-1
Severity: important
Hi,
I recently found out that my backup has broken for months. It
seems that the version from testing doesn't want to talk to the
version from stable/buster.
It gives the following error:
Exception 'object.__new__(X): X is not a type object (classobj)' raised of
class '<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>':

TypeError: object.__new__(X): X is not a type object (classobj)
Fatal Error: Truncated header string (problem probably originated remotely)
Couldn't start up the remote connection by executing
ssh -C XXXXX rdiff-backup --server
Remember that, under the default settings, rdiff-backup must be
installed in the PATH on the remote system. See the man page for more
information on this. This message may also be displayed if the remote
version of rdiff-backup is quite different from the local version (2.0.5).
If I downgrade to the local version 1.2.8-7, which is also the
remote version, things work.
