It escaped my attention at the time, but Ubuntu 18.04 released with both a version of duplicity that shows the new incremental-backups-also-have- this-issue behavior (see my comment 22) and a release of deja-dup that wasn't yet fixed to avoid it.
Which means that deja-dup in Ubuntu 18.04 is still affected by this bug (for incremental backups). These two commits landed in deja-dup 39.1 and should work around it, if someone wanted to patch deja-dup in 18.04 (I've opened a target for bionic for this bug): https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/deja-dup/-/commit/4f325940dae7fc259b4be70fccec40c94617f4d4 https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/deja-dup/-/commit/135f4c83774b6dafe194236f99f1405f45032498 For users, you can also install the snap version of deja-dup to avoid this as well. ** Also affects: duplicity (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: deja-dup (Ubuntu Bionic) 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/918489 Title: duplicity allows a new, different passphrase if an archive cache exists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/918489/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
