Error installing rdiff-backup

[Peter Trudelle]

Hi,

I just tried to install rdiff-backup on 10.5.8, which seemed to be fine 
until the following snippit.  Apparently, it wants to overwrite the lone 
file in the installed xattr port.  Seems like that should never happen, 
but is the version it installs equivalent?

thanks,

Peter
