A "dnf upgrade" on fedora 28 appears to break borg.  Not sure
what "msgpack" is but perhaps they made some unexpected change
between 0.5.5 and 0.5.6?

For now I downgraded by `dnf install python3-msgpack-0.5.5`,
which also downgraded borg to 1.1.4.  1.1.4 is fine for me, so I
actually don't have an issue for now, but I thought I should
report it anyway.

(The following is from before the downgrade of course)
