I think that /tmp filename is a file that duplicity proceeds to throw away. It copies files there, tries to unpack them, then cleans up after itself (regardless of success). So that error message would be a lot more useful if it indicated what the actual source file it had copied from the storage location was named (like duplicity-vol1.gz or whatever).
The error message makes it sound like the file it is trying to unpack is corrupted. It's possible that a backup file got interrupted/cutoff during writing/transfer? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970124 Title: duplicity backup fails with obscure error message Ubuntu 22.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/duplicity/+bug/1970124/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
