Package: rdiff-backup Version: 1.1.5-4 Followup-For: Bug #388720
I have been having this problems for some days now. I run rdiff-backup from a cron job. Both client and backup box are running etch (the backup box has a 2.4 kernel though). I include both client and backup box system info below. The problem started a few days after I updated both machinces from sarge to etch. My daily cron scheduled backup ran successfully for a few days after the update. I started having this problem after a scheduled backup failed (presumably due to a network problem) with the sparse output: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read from remote host backup.askur.org: Connection timed out Fatal Error: Lost connection to the remote system Deleting increment at time: Mon Apr 2 06:27:17 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since then I have consistently been getting a crash with the stacktrace printed below. I have been googling about and have found some indications (in addition to the parent bug report) that this bug is real. For example: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?15772 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/253835 http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2007-03/msg00020.html http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2006-09/msg00018.html http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2006-02/msg00078.html http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2007-04/msg00030.html http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2007-03/msg00085.html Haven't found any promissing solutions though. I will be happy to provide any further details to help resolve this bug.
