addendum: editing my gpg.conf to comment out the version-2-only options appears to make deja-dup run correctly. this seems to be at least a workaround, if not the complete solution.
it's regrettable that gnupg versions 1 and 2 use the same config file, with options not being backwards compatible. i doubt i'll be the only one to trip myself up by too enthusiastically using the shiny new features of version 2 while some code on my system still needs version 1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710309 Title: Deja-dup fails to create encrypted backup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1710309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
