Package: duplicity
Version: 0.4.12-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I noticed that the new version of duplicity prompts for the GnuPG passphrase
even if it is used with --no-encryption:
$ duplicity full --no-encryption . file:///tmp/
GnuPG passphrase:
Retype passphrase to confirm:
Cannot use empty passphrase with symmetric encryption! Please try again.
GnuPG passphrase:
Retype passphrase to confirm:
[...]
$ duplicity incremental --no-encryption . file:///tmp/
GnuPG passphrase:
The program seems to accept any non-empty passphrase and it correctly
creates unencrypted *.gz files in the end, but the prompting for the
passphrase is problematic for cronjobs (and for use in other
non-interactive scripts, I suppose).
I found this upstream bug: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?23985
Until upstream fixes this bug there is a simple workaround: I now use
export PASSPHRASE=
in my cronjob scripts before "duplicity --no-encryption ..." is invoked;
this is sufficient to suppress the passphrase prompt.
Thank you for your time.
