Hi Christian,

Thanks for the bug report.

What I read is a warning concerning the deprecation of os.popen2()
function which means this function still works but will be removed in a
near future.

I tested rdiff-backup with python2.6 and it works on my computer.

$ python2.6 /usr/bin/rdiff-backup /tmp/petit backup
$ ls backup/
architecture  AUTHORS  build  CHANGELOG  COPYING  Makefile
rdiff-backup-data  README  src  test
$

Could you help me to reproduce the bug ? What command line did you use
to produce this warning?

I'm lowering the gravity you gave to this bug report until you provide
further information to reproduce the crash you observed, if there is.


Bye,
