Public bug reported: So, it's duplicity 0.6.18 in Python 2.7.3 under 3.2.0-29-generic x86_64 from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server on amd64-based hp n36l microserver talking to olbiz.net served by Pure-FTPd using TLS backed by GlusterFS.
The duplicity is being ran via duply version 1.5.5.4 Using installed duplicity version 0.6.18, python 2.7.3, gpg 1.4.11, awk 'GNU Awk 3.1.8', bash '4.2.24(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)'. One may see this "error" (actually, annoying misfeature): Running 'lftp -c 'source /tmp/duplicity-CmoCxx-tempdir/mkstemp-4Typ9m-1;cd 'backup3/blackbox/';rm '' failed with code 1 (attempt #2) Error is: Usage: rm [-r] [-f] files... in my case it's in /usr/share/pyshared/duplicity/backends/ftpsbackend.py @ delete() method def I'd propose to guard the last 3 lines (remote_dir = ...; command_line = ...; self.popen_persist(commandline)) with something like if filelist.rstrip() : # don't even try to remove empty names I.e. just do nothing if no filenames were given to remove. ** Affects: duplicity Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: duplicity misfeature ** Also affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104069 Title: Empty file name removal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1104069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
