Attempting to run duplicity at least with sftp backend fails with unhandled

looks like a problem in paramiko, the python ssh module.

you can work around this by using --ssh-backend pexpect to select
the pexpect-based ssh/scp/sftp backend. see A NOTE ON SSH BACKENDS in
man duplicity.

Ahh, thanks for the info.


This is on a 32-bit Debian testing, if that matters. The issue appeared
recently, possibly with Duplicity package upgrade to 0.6.24, but since the old
0.6.23 is no longer available for downgrading, I can't confirm if that is the
cause.

0.6.23 can still be found on snapshot.d.o, at 
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/duplicity/


This too.
