Package: duplicity
Version: 0.6.08b-1+b1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
At lenny's duplicity (0.4.11-2), it was possible to run the following command
in the remote host
without having the GPG keys or password:
duplicity collection-status
file:///var/backups/remote/remote-host.example.org/duplicity/
After upgrading to squeezy (duplicity 0.6.08b-1), I get the following prompt
instead of the
regular collection-status message:
A sincronizar os meta-dados remotos com a cache local...
GnuPG passphrase:
When running on a non-interactive script[1][2] I get the following error:
A sincronizar os meta-dados remotos com a cache local...
/usr/lib/python2.6/getpass.py:83: GetPassWarning: Can not control echo on the
terminal.
passwd = fallback_getpass(prompt, stream)
Warning: Password input may be echoed.

EOFError
I can't find in upstream CHANGELOG[3] any reference about changed
collection-status behavior but
I found that commenting the sync_archive() call at main() the problem was
solved. Therefore I created
the following patch:

Having the ability to check the backup sets in the remote host without having
the backup keys
is an important feature to help backup auditing.
An issue was issued upstream[4].
