I've tried both the snap distribution which is at 0.8.19 and the apt distribution which is at 0.8.12 and both print the same error.
Everything still works fine so its only a cosmetic issue though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to duplicity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620085 Title: --exclude-if-present gives OSError looking for tag in locked folders Status in Duplicity: Fix Released Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in duplicity source package in Zesty: Fix Released Bug description: As per: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2016-08/msg00009.html "I want to send a backup with --exclude-if-present=TAG and --include-filelist. The folder /src/folder is not accessible (mode 750, not owner, not member of group). This folder is excluded by way of '- **/folder' in the include filelist. Does the selection process resolve exclude-if-present=TAG before it looks at include/exclude filelists anyway ? duplicity 0.7.10 (python 2.7.12) fails with OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/src/folder/TAG' duplicity 0.7.06 prints Error accessing possibly locked file /src/folder but it isn't a showstopper." I can confirm this is the case. The reason is that --exclude-if- present looks in each folder within the backup tree looking for the excluded tag, even if that folder is later excluded. The difference between version 0.7.06 and 0.7.10 is likely caused by my rev 1224: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/duplicity/0.7-series/revision/1224 which fixed Bug #1089131 by removing the readability check when the directory was first scanned and instead moved it to when the file comes to be included by the Select function. The issue here is that the function that deals with --exclude-if-present checks for the tag by simply trying to access it, without checking if it has access, giving an OSError.
