Well, this traceback was produced by your own rdiff-backup
installation from /usr/local, not the one from Debian package.
(Although I don't quite understand why importing "sha" failed.)

I took away the version I'd downloaded and then tried again:<br>

I wonder if, according to <a
href="http://docs.python.org/2/library/sha.html">this page</a>,
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 <a
href="http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/index.html">http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/index.html</a>
site, perhaps you know. That site doesn't seem to have been updated
since 2009, so perhaps this software is in trouble.<br>
