Public bug reported: Duplicity suddenly fails when I run an old backup script, that I have used unchanged for two months.
I expected to backup to succeed and not give an error message. The error message I got is: ``` TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str ``` And in context: ``` Added incremental Backupset (start_time: Fri Oct 18 19:18:20 2019 / end_time: Tue Oct 22 17:18:24 2019) Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed. Last full backup date: Mon Sep 23 16:44:18 2019 Attempt 1 failed. TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str Attempt 2 failed. TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str Attempt 3 failed. TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str Attempt 4 failed. TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str Giving up after 5 attempts. TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str Cleanup of temporary directory /tmp/duplicity-tvzschy0-tempdir failed - this is probably a bug. ``` It is possible, that this is an interaction with the Backblaze B2 package "b2", however, I tried to install older versions of that package by doing: ``` pip3 install b2==1.3.0 pip3 install b2==1.2.0 pip3 install b2==1.1.0 ``` But in each version the error remained the same. (No "b2" package is installed via apt or the python2 pip. Interestingly when I have only the python-2 b2 package installed, duplicity complains that the package is not present at all, so I guess duplicity changed to python3 now.)
