On further investigation, unfortunately, I realize it is not a file list that Déjà-Dup passes to duplicity collection-status, but the path/URL of the backup repository, e.g.: duplicity collection-status [options] file://home/luke/deja-dup This is what duplicity expects for this action, according to the man page. So it might be trickier than I thought to have duplicity not examine certain files, and perhaps this bug would be better solved on duplicity's side than on Déjà-Dup's side. Worst case, if the bug can't be fixed and the situation requires a human to examine the contents of the backup repository to take adequate action, then duplicity should return a more descriptive message than the current terse assertion error. -- 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/1652410 Title: Undescriptive duplicity/collection-status error when the backup directory contains two volumes with different file names and same volume number in the same backup set Status in Déjà Dup: Triaged Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Deja-dup has never worked for me (last 5 years) always errors.
