[Bug 407280] [NEW] too many incremental backups are deleted

[Johannes]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sbackup

I do my backups daily, with an full backup every month. I'm using
logarithmic purging and want sbackup to keep all my backups from last
week. But when a full backup is done today, all previous backups are
deleted, even those from yesterday. This may be fixed by changing the
lines 191 and 193 of /usr/sbin/upgrade_backups.py:

current:
      191                             if seenfull < 1 and e.endswith( ".ful" ):
      192                                 seenfull += 1
      193                             elif seenfull >= 1 and e.endswith( ".inc" ):

changed:
      191                             if seenfull < 2 and e.endswith( ".ful" ):
      192                                 seenfull += 1
      193                             elif seenfull >= 2 and e.endswith( ".inc" ):

That way only incremental backups that are older than the second last
full backup are deleted.

I'm using sbackup 0.10.5ubuntu2 on Jaunty.
