Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rdiff-backup
My usual backup procedure (not used since December/Edgy :-/ ) doesn’t
work anymore. rdiff-backup bombs out and throws a longish traceback at
me.

IOError: [Errno 71] Protocol error: '/dev/bus/usb/.usbfs/002/004'
I don’t know what the significance of this device is but when I want to inspect
it is not there only with an id incemented by 1, i.e. here,
/dev/bus/usb/.usbfs/002/005
On the next try the error will contain 005 and the present device will
be 006.
The destination is a bipartite USB HD.
/dev/sda2 on /media/NTFS type ntfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8)
/dev/sda3 on /media/backupdisk type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
Not very reassuring for a backup program, no?
** Affects: rdiff-backup (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed

rdiff-back crashes when destination is my USB drive with IOError: [errno71]
