Package: duplicity
Version: 0.6.24-1
Severity: normal
To connect to an S3 bucket in Frankfurt, if one reads the documentation, they
get the impression they should be using --s3-use-new-style.
Not only this doesn't work, but it prevents the (undocumented) workaround to
work which is to export S3_USE_SIGV4="True".
Either the documentation should be fixed, including the workaround, or
(better?) duplicity should be able to select the correct authentication method
for the s3-eu-central-1 endpoint.

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
