addendum: editing my gpg.conf to comment out the version-2-only options appears to make deja-dup run correctly. this seems to be at least a workaround, if not the complete solution.
it's regrettable that gnupg versions 1 and 2 use the same config file, with options not being backwards compatible. i doubt i'll be the only one to trip myself up by too enthusiastically using the shiny new features of version 2 while some code on my system still needs version 1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710309 Title: Deja-dup fails to create encrypted backup Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Attempting to create a full backup to a SMB NAS, succeeds if backup is set to unencrypted. Fails if password is specified. Symptom: deja-dup loops endlessly through "scanning" -> "encryption password needed" -> "require password?" and round and round. Possibly related to recent gnupg options changes? Creating a GPG key pair for enigmail to use was the last major change i made to my set-up since the last time these back-ups succeeded. If that's the cause, i'll be darned if i can work out what to revert where.
