For a few weeks I'm not able to do further incremental backups with kup/bup. Log file attached. I'm afraid the problem occurs since I tried the 'Prune old Backups' option. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
run kup backup routine

OBSERVED RESULT
log attached

EXPECTED RESULT
finish backup with no error

Thanks for the bug report!

I am afraid this needs to be solved in bup. Please contact the bup mailing list to report the problem, I am sure this is valuable information because when I searched the mailing list archives, there had been several years of this pruning option being available but no reports of any problem with it.

Another thing here, most likely unrelated... but I noticed from your log file that you have included for backup a folder located inside an excluded folder. This is still not supported by bup as far as I know, so check your backups to make sure all your files are actually being saved. (Kup still allows such a selection because rsync supports it). I have reported it to the bup developers together with a fix but they never did anything about it. Probably 7-9 years ago that I did that.
