From the version numbers you report I presume you are running buster, can you confirm that?

Can you confirm what version of borgbackup you have installed?

[Glenn Wallace (glenn4uk)]

Running testing - that's buster, right?

# uname -a
Linux pi 4.9.59-v7+ #1047 SMP Sun Oct 29 12:19:23 GMT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

# dpkg -l | grep borg
