Re: [Duplicity-talk] Downgrade?

[edgar . soldin]

were 0.6.06 also installed from tarball?
what does 'which duplicity' output?

but this still doesn't explain why gpg asks for a passphrase if none is
needed. could be a bug. why don't you install 0.6.06,08b in parallel and
doublecheck that it's the case. if the error is only with 08b we'd
appreciate if you comeback with more details or file a bug report on
launchpad.

here is what I do to have multiple versions of duplicity available

# download & extract
wget
http://code.launchpad.net/duplicity/0.6-series/0.6.06/+download/duplicity-0.6.07.tar.gz
tar xvf duplicity-0.6.07.tar.gz
cd duplicity-0.6.07/

# run install into folder PREFIX
PREFIX=~/_apps/duplicity-0.6.07 ; python setup.py install
--prefix=$PREFIX --install-lib=$PREFIX

# patch duplicity to search for libs where we put them
PREFIX=~/_apps/duplicity-0.6.07; cat $PREFIX/bin/duplicity | awk
'1;/import getpass, gzip, os, sys, time, types/{print
"sys.path.insert(1,sys.path[0] + \47/../\47)"}' >
$PREFIX/bin/duplicity_mod && chmod 755 $PREFIX/bin/duplicity_mod && mv
$PREFIX/bin/duplicity_mod $PREFIX/bin/duplicity

you could use /usr/local/duplicity-0.6.07 as a prefix if you don't want
to have the application in the user home

PS: received your bug report.
