Greetings.  We're having trouble with the rdiff-backup package on i386
systems with SL 5.0 installed.

We've tried this on three systems so far: two of them are running 32-bit
SL 5.0 (one on 32-bit hardware, the other on 64-bit hardware), and the
third is running 64-bit SL 5.0 (on 64-bit hardware, of course).

The package is in the "dag" repository, and we install it via:

    yum --enablerepo=dag install rdiff-backup

This step appears to work just fine on all three systems.  The program
runs as expected on the 64-bit system:

    # rdiff-backup --version
    rdiff-backup 1.0.5

But on both of the 32-bit systems we get the following mess:

    # rdiff-backup --version
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    import _librsync, types, array

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/_librsync.so:
    cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

Please let me know if you have any suggestions about this.  Thanks.

                                        - Mike
