unfortunately version 3.0.6.2 is broken wrt. incremental backups with asymmetric encryption. it tells me that the metadata is in sync, followed immediately by a kaboom when it attempts to decrypt a remote manifest file example invocation (which has worked fine up to and including 3.0.5.1): duplicity backup --exclude-other-filesystems --volsize 250 --encrypt-key 2FCCF66BB963BD5F --archive-dir /var/lib/duplicity \ --name boot --full-if-older-than 7D /boot rsync://backup@REDACTED::/backup/REDACTED/boot Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
