[abbbi]

please see old issues, your libnbd version installed is either too old or you have installed the nbd module from pypi, which is the wrong one...

[abbbi]

See: https://github.com/abbbi/virtnbdbackup/issues/20

your python-libnbd bindings (libnbd version: 1.2.2) are too old

you can try the ones i backported for the CI environment or you have to backport them yourself or use a virtualenv.

The urls for the packages i used have been removed from the code meanwhile because i switched my CI to ubuntu 22.x, here are the links:

-        # ubuntu 20.x does only include libnbd 1.2.2 which is too old
-        # update package for ci testing to newer version backported.
-        # also copy nbdinfo from debian bullseye, for tests with
-        # option -q
-        wget https://abbbi.github.io/files/libnbd0_1.6.2-1_amd64.deb
-        wget https://abbbi.github.io/files/python3-libnbd_1.6.2-1_amd64.deb
