Dean's package seems to depend on a newer libc6, this is what I got on a sarge machine:
puddle:~# dpkg -i rdiff-backup_1.0.4-0.cvs20060120_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package rdiff-backup. (Reading database ... 25685 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking rdiff-backup (from rdiff-backup_1.0.4-0.cvs20060120_i386.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rdiff-backup: rdiff-backup depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1); however: Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.2.ds1-22. dpkg: error processing rdiff-backup (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: rdiff-backup Dean this package was created on a machine running etch right? I used apt-get source to download the rdiff-backup source on to a machine running etch, then I copied the source tree to a sarge machine and built it there. Now rdiff-backup backs up from etch to sarge without any warnings. You need to have librsync-dev and the debian packaging tools installed. If you want it, you can get my package for sarge here: http://puddle.ca/~sim/debian/rdiff-backup_1.1.5-1_i386-sarge.deb -- sim _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
