Package: duplicity Version: 0.6.17-3 Severity: wishlist
With the environment variable PYTHONOPTIMIZE set, duplicity doesn't work. Backups can be created, but it is unable to understand (in particular check/increment) its own backups, claiming that either signatures or data is missing. This affects several versions of duplicity 0.6, and concerns even the simplest of backup cases: local to local w/o encryption.
I spent a _lot_ of time trying to find the problem, so I didn't debug this any further. However it seems rdiff also has issues with PYTHONOPTIMIZE [1], perhaps there is similar or even shared code.
Either way, it would be nice to document the clash with PYTHONOPTIMIZE in the man page, or add a check to the code that informs the user that it has to be unset.
