Package: duplicity
Version: 0.6.08b-1+b1
Severity: minor
Here's what I get with an empty remote GPG file (probably resulting of out of
quota), when trying to resync the local cache :
...
Fetching .../duplicity-inc.20101225T001425Z.to.20101226T001506Z.manifest.gpg to
/tmp/duplicity-mqzqB7-tempdir/mktemp-f0fGqJ-7'
State = sftp, Before = 'quit'
Removing still remembered temporary file
/tmp/duplicity-mqzqB7-tempdir/mkstemp-xGZcgl-1
Removing still remembered temporary file
/tmp/duplicity-mqzqB7-tempdir/mktemp-f0fGqJ-7

===== End GnuPG log =====
GPGError: GPG Failed, see log below:

Of course, by listing the cache one can find the culprit 0 size file :
duplicity-inc.20101225T001425Z.to.20101226T001506Z.manifest.gpg
But I guess it wouldn't be so hard to have a check against empty files and
manage the failing backup/restore then.
Hope this helps.

as far as i can tell these 10+ year old bugs are closable,
because they're either no longer relevant (pretty different OS environment),
or never received the requested moreinfo followup,
or were not directly related to duplicity itself (ie. applied
to various dependencies),
or were fixed at some point in the past 10+ years without me noting.
regards
