[Duplicity-talk] Possible error with duplicity 0.5.05

[Richard Scott]

Hi,

I've just installed Duplicity on my 3rd computer and running it for the very 
first time I get this
error:

/usr/bin/duplicity full --archive-dir=/var/lib/duplicity/etc /etc 
s3+http://blah/etc
gpg: Fatal: can't create directory `/root/.gnupg': File exists
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 579, in <module>
    with_tempdir(main)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 573, in with_tempdir
    fn()
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 554, in main
    full_backup(col_stats)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 234, in full_backup
    bytes_written = write_multivol("full", tarblock_iter, globals.backend)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 148, in write_multivol
    globals.gpg_profile, globals.volsize)
  File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/duplicity/gpg.py", line 241, in 
GPGWriteFile
    file.write(data)
  File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/duplicity/gpg.py", line 131, in write
    res = self.gpg_input.write(buf)
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

I don't get this the next time I run the command and I can't remember now if 
the .gnupg directory
was there before running the backup. I don't think so, but I may have scp'd it 
from another
computer when I synced my /root folders on the two machines ;-(

I have this in the .gnupg directory:

# ls -al
total 12
drwx------ 2 root root  136 Jan 23 12:54 .
drwx------ 6 root root  376 Jan 23 12:54 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 7818 Jan 23 12:54 gpg.conf
-rw------- 1 root root    0 Jan 23 12:54 pubring.gpg
-rw------- 1 root root  600 Jan 23 13:13 random_seed


I have seen this error once before but only just been able to grab the output 
to email :-)

Rich.
