(I also just now changed testing to unstable in sources.list, did an "aptitude update", then "sudo aptitude -t unstable install rdiff-backup", but nothing new was installed.) I've just now created a dummy directory named /usr/local/BUB, and tried "sudo rdiff-backup /home/ /usr/local/BUB", and am not getting any messages, neither errors nor other feedback -- but if I manually do an "ls" in the BUB directory I see that directories are being created, so it looks like the program works fine when the destination is a local non-smb filesystem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages rdiff-backup depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii librsync1 0.9.7-1 Library which implements the rsync ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.5.6 automated rebuilding support for p Versions of packages rdiff-backup recommends: ii python-pylibacl 0.2.1-3.1 module for manipulating POSIX.1e A ii python-pyxattr 0.2.1-1.1 module for manipulating filesystem -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
