Hi,
You could simply install the libraries with pip: `sudo pip3 install pylibacl
pyxattr` (or with `pip3 install --user ...` if you only want to use
rdiff-backup under one specific user). Just make sure you don't install both
via rpm and pip. The README [1] describes how to install the wheel.
@Frank the dependencies py3libacl and python3-pyxattr of the RPM should only be
recommendations IMHO
Hope this helps, Eric

Looks like I'll have to figure out how to install a .whl file, but
isn't that going to leave me without py3libacl, which I believe is a
binary and not a python script, and I'm not sure pyxattr is going to be
included. I need to have both ACLs and extended attributes supported.
I am far, far away from getting this to install. "pip3 install pyxattr" fails
with:
acl.c:23:10: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
All attempts to install rdiff-backup fail with:
No matching distribution found for rdiff-backup-1.4.0{whatever I
try}-linux_x86.64
If I include the .whl suffix I just get "looks like a filename, but file does not
exist".
I am way out of my territory here. I'm afraid I have to ask for the exact
keystrokes to
type, without any "VERSION" placeholders or "ignore slight differences in
versioning"
comments. My distro is CentOS 8, 64 bit. Python version is 3.6.8.
I'd rather not wait for the official release in order to find the hard-link
problems
that I am 99% sure I will find.
