Rebuild for pyinstall CVE-2023-49797 BZ2253844

Summary

rdiff-backup is a script, written in Python, that backs up one

directory to another and is intended to be run periodically (nightly

from cron for instance). The target directory ends up a copy of the

source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in the target

directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea

is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental

backup. rdiff-backup can also operate in a bandwidth efficient manner

over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to

securely back a hard drive up to a remote location, and only the

differences from the previous backup will be transmitted.
