It was whatever was installed in Jaunty. But my Fedora 11 computer was
a fresh install on a brand new hard disk. I don't recall installing
python, but I do recall manually installing rdiff-backup. Python was
installed either during Fedora 11 installation or as a dependency for
rdiff-backup, or perhaps as a dependency for some other application
that I installed.
It could be that the initial installation of Fedora 11 installed an
older version of python and then I installed 2.6 as an update. I do
install all updates as soon as the Update Software utility announces
them. I don't actually recall an update for python, but it could have
happened. That might have left me with a python that is incompatible
with my current version of rdiff-backup.

This sounds promising, but I can't find setup.py in the rdiff-backup
folder:
[...@devil8 ~]$ locate rdiff
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup-statistics
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/rdiff_backup
<within this folder are the scripts>
Although I think I have found the folder with the scripts, there is no
setup.py script. I read through them and there is no other script that
sounds like its purpose is to install or set up rdiff-backup.
If I do "locate setup.py" I get ten different setup.py files. All are in
subfolders of /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/, and none sound
as though they have anything to do with rdiff-backup.
I used yum to uninstall rdiff-backup, then reinstalled it, but that
didn't help.
I also perused the rdiff-backup web page and wiki, but didn't find
anything. Most of the questions and answers there relate to really old
versions of rdiff-backup and python.
Still stuck. :(
