Hello Vej, I'm also affected from this bug.
System details: Ubuntu 17.10 deja-dup 36.2-0ubuntu1 duplicity 0.7.12 gpgv 2.1.15-1ubuntu8 Same problem: gpg-agent was not running But: ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf does not contain a use-agent statement (everything is commented out). As I was not able to find any reference on how the default gpg.conf file should look like, I'm note sure if this is supposed to or not. Same solution: starting the agent manually solves the problem.
