It is the same thing that I was getting with the other dpkg and apt-get type
commands. Supposedly rdiff-backup gets installed, but there is something
wrong with the configure script that is required for the dpkg database to
get updated. Rdiff-backup and keep seem to be installed and working in my
kubuntu desktop, the dpkg database just doesn't want to recognize the
installation. I really would not use that functionality on this desktop,
and would be happy to uninstall those applications (rdiff-backup and keep)
if I could keep the rest of the kubuntu-desktop. Any thoughts on how to
accomplish this?
