Re: [Duplicity-talk] Error 30 TypeError: bad operand type for unary +: 'str'

[Kenneth Loafman]

Yes, this is actually an error during problem reporting.  It was fixed a
couple of releases ago in 0.5.13, we're at 0.5.15 now.  The error it was
reporting was about unnecessary signature files.

You can download the latest version at http://duplicity.nongnu.org/

...Thanks,
