This is because of spurious cached files in the archive directory. By synchronizing the local archive directory for both missing and spurious files, the problem goes away. I have an almost complete solution committed: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~scode/duplicity/archive-sync-removelocal/revision/553 The problem is that the "resolution" of base name into local + remote seems to end up being wrong for me with sigtar files, so that the os.unlink() (if not commented out) fails. It tacks on a ".gz" for the sigtar file, but the sigtar is NOT compressed in my archive directory. For the manifest files it correctly doesn't. While I can of course trace the code and see why get_suffix() does it, I'm not really sure of the overal picture here. Is it incorrect to to use this form of name resolution in this case? Kenneth you probably understand this a lot better. In my particular case, simply not going through resolution at all and just appending the base name to the archive dir happens to work, but that'll surely break in other combinations of compression/encryption. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <[email protected]>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [email protected] E-Mail: [email protected] Web: http://www.scode.org
