Package: duplicity
Version: 0.7.02-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When I'm trying to run duplicity with the pydrive backend as described in the
manpage, having installed pydrive according to the instructions and converted a
Google Service account with the command " Download the .p12 key file of the
account and convert it to the .pem format "openssl pkcs12 -in XXX.p12 -nodes
-nocerts > pydriveprivatekey.pem", I get the following error:
$ GOOGLE_DRIVE_ACCOUNT_KEY=pydriveprivatekey.pem duplicity --encrypt-key foo
--use-agent /home/foo/ pydrive://[email protected]/foo/

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
az
