Bug Description
Binary package hint: rdiff-backup
Ubuntu does not seem to provide the current stable version of rdiff-backup, and the gutsy version of rdiff-backup (1.1.12) is incompatible with the version in all currently supported releases of Ubuntu (1.1.5). This means that when any machine upgrades to gutsy, it is impossible to rdiff-backup to a system that has not gone to gutsy. This is especially important when backing up (say) gutsy desktops to Dapper LTS servers.
Either rdiff-backup should not break compatibility with subrevisions, or Ubuntu should provide a version of rdiff-backup that will communicate with all other currently-supported releases of Ubuntu.

I got hit by this when I upgraded this morning. I might try to backport 1.1.12 to Dapper for now, but that's not an ideal fix.
