RE: [Duplicity-talk] Downgrade?

[p1]

Hi Edgar, thanks for a quick response.

# which duplicity
/usr/bin/duplicity
#

Yes, both versions were installed for tarball downloaded from the
duplicity website.  I now uninstalled everything duplicity-related and
installed 0.6.06 from the same source I had before.  But I continue
getting the GnuPG password prompt, to which I just press Enter and it
continues successfully with the rest of the run.

I deleted and recreated the key pair, but that did not help.  I'm
continuing to chip away at it, but just wanted to get this out, perhaps
something will come to you before I get anywhere...

Thanks again,

Paul

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/duplicit
y-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.
