Hi Eric, I can only guess but from the look of it, you had e.g. an (apt) upgrade running and your python or rdiff-backup installation was inconsistent, the import mechanism was broken. I can pretty surely say that it had nothing to do with rdiff-backup itself.

The following command has run successfully any number of times in the three months since I got my new box (Dell factory Ubuntu image installed.) Now I get this strange string of messages.
