Package: rdiff-backup Version: 2.2.2-1 Dear maintainer:
As the subject says, when I try something like this: rdiff-backup remove increments --older-than 1m /some/destination the command exits with status 2 (indicating error), when it's the case that there are no increments to remove. This is a regression, as it did not use to happen in Debian 11, where an equivalent command rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 1m never seemed to fail when there are no increments to remove. Intuitively, in the spirit of "rm -f", one might think that using --force would help: rdiff-backup --force remove increments --older-than 1m /some/destination but that does not seem to be the case either. Note: I'm not using any special severity here, but I would consider this worthy to be fixed in a point release, as it breaks current scripts (I mean, even if the syntax has changed, one would expect that an "equivalent" script using the new syntax would behave the same as the old one). Maybe it does not worth an upload by itself, but if this bug is going to be fixed in some point release: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1035725 then maybe this one could be fixed as well in the same upload (of course, if it's confirmed that it's a bug and a fix is available). Thanks.
