Package: duply
Version: 1.9.1-1
Severity: normal

Hey,
In debian stable, python-crypto complains in stderr that duply is not
using it correctly :

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Crypto/Cipher/blockalgo.py:141:
FutureWarning: CTR mode needs counter parameter, not IV

This is problematic for multiple reasons: first, if duply is supplying
an IV to a CTR mode cypher, something is clearly wrong. Secondly, it
writes a line for every duply job in stderr. I (like many others, I
guess) happen to be running duply in cron, on multiple machines. This
means for each cron run I get 4 emails from cron for each machine
telling me this error.

This is not ideal. The obvious fix would be to redirect stderr to stdout
and be done with it, except that if duply fails a backup I don't get an
email then.

I haven't checked if newer versions still do this, but I can try it on
testing if you want.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Clément Hertling
