Thanks for taking the time to test this.  Be aware that there are some
bugs in the RC1 package if you picked that one up.  A new RC2 will be
out later today that fixes those and others.

Duplicity is now being actively maintained by me at:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/duplicity/

Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora maintainers, plus others, have submitted bugs
and patches.  If you find a problem with the recent code, please post to
the bug list in the site above.  If you want to be more actively
involved, subscribe to the mailing list.

...Thanks,
