[rdiff-backup-users] Re: 1.1.5 on Ubuntu 7.04

[Tim Vaughan]

After more investigation, and upgrading to 1.1.14 I have found that:

* Backups run from cron still fail
* Manual backups run ok

Checking with -l gets the following:

# rdiff-backup -l /backup/backupdir/
Fatal Error: Previous backup to /backup/backupdir seems to have failed.
Rerun rdiff-backup with --check-destination-dir option to revert
directory to state before unsuccessful session.

# rdiff-backup -l /backup/backupdir/rdiff-backup-data/
