Re: [Duplicity-talk] a question on duplicity and gpg

[Kenneth Loafman]

Hi,

Please upgrade to the current version of duplicity.  This will assure that any bugs fixed since your release are available and may fix your issue.

There are multiple options both stable and daily:

• Source - https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity
• Stable tarball install - https://launchpad.net/duplicity/+download
• Stable duplicity PPA - https://code.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/duplicity-release-git
• Daily duplicity PPA - https://code.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/duplicity-develop-git
• Stable snap builds - “sudo snap install duplicity —classic"
• Latest snap builds - “sudo snap install duplicity —classic —edge"
• Stable pip3 builds - “sudo pip3 install duplicity"
• Latest pip3 builds - “sudo pip3 install --pre duplicity"

Note 1: UNINSTALL duplicity first if it was installed from a different source..  This is due to divergent install locations, especially between repository installs and the other forms.

Note 2: Launchpad PPAs contain builds for Bionic 18.04, Eoan 19.10, Focal 20.04, and Hirsute 20.10.  Xenial 16.04 works with Snap and Pip installs, but cannot be built under Launchpad PPAs at the moment.

...Thanks,

...Ken

I made a test, kill all gpg-agents. Afterwords If I use gpg to decrypt a file 

it does not ask for a passphrase and decrypt with the first line as

Hi Edgar,

libgcrypt 1.8.6

SNIP

and this is the duplicity version 

duplicity 0.7.18.1

duplicity 0.7 is eol. you should update to latest 0.8 if possible at all.

the switch seems to be in since duplicity 0.7.13 at least

"

do you maybe specify '--use-agent' as dupicity parameter?

please test as follows.
1. kill all gpg-agent instances
2. run duplicity
3. check if gpg-agent is suddenly running in background or not
