Hi all,
I think I ran into a bug. Restoring a simple file works ok like this:
mkdir original
echo bla > original/file
rdiff-backup original/ backup
rdiff-backup -r now backup/file file
The file is created, backed-up fine and restored without problems.
Trying this restore again yields a warning as expected:
rdiff-backup -r now backup/file file
Fatal Error: Restore target file already exists, specify --force to
overwrite.
So far so good. So we use the --force option because we would like to
overwrite. This yields the following:
rdiff-backup --force -r now backup/file file
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 23, in ?

line 139, in init_readwrite
assert not rbdir.lstat(), (rbdir.path, rbdir.lstat())
AssertionError: ('file', 'reg')
I tried several times, under several conditions and I always get this
problem. I think it is a bug. Is there a workaround? Or a fix upcoming?
Sincerely,
Gerard
