Public bug reported: I upgraded from 16.04 to 16.10 with `do-release-upgrade` and now my backups fail with the output below. Unfortunately I don't really understand what the GNUPG output means and it's not clear from Googling if I can fix this issue.
$ duply triton backup Start duply v1.11.3, time is 2016-11-02 10:29:43. Using profile '/home/andrew/.duply/triton'. Using installed duplicity version 0.7.06, python 2.7.12+, gpg 2.1.15 (Home: /home/andrew/.gnupg), awk 'GNU Awk 4.1.3, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.5, GNU MP 6.1.1)', grep 'grep (GNU grep) 2.25', bash '4.3.46(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)'.

The error message above should help to solve the problem. However, if for some reason duply should misinterpret the situation you can define GPG_TEST='disabled' in the conf file to bypass the test. Please do not forget to report the bug in order to resolve the problem in future versions of duply.
