in attic.archiver:727:
try:
exit_code = archiver.run(sys.argv[1:])
except Error as e:
archiver.print_error(e.get_message())
exit_code = e.exit_code
The problem here is that print_error only prints very little information. No traceback, thus no information where it crashed. For debugging, I just added a "raise" before this line, to re-raise the Error and get a normal traceback.
