I took away the version I'd downloaded and then tried again:
rdiff-backup
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rdiff-backup", line 20, in<module>
import rdiff_backup.Main
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line 25, in<module>

import sha
ImportError: No module named sha
I wonder if, according to this page
<http://docs.python.org/2/library/sha.html>, the sha module has been
depreciated since version 2.5, and I'm running 2.7, is the problem? If
that's the case then this is perhaps a problem for whoever maintains
rdif-backup. I couldn't see how to get in touch with them on the
http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/index.html site, perhaps you know. That
site doesn't seem to have been updated since 2009, so perhaps this
software is in trouble.
All the best - Frank
