Bugzilla Bug 147054

The duplicity application cannot handle FTP timeouts, it always crashed if one
occures.

To fix this issue, a patch has been submittet in the patch tracker of the
duplicity project:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=5183

since no newer release has been made so far, this patch has to be applied
manually.
The ebuild should do this, IMHO.

(for duplicity-0.4.2, the patch does not work but the backend.py file provided
works.)

I wanted to wait until upstream approves this patch and includes it in the
code, but seeing as upstream is de facto dead, I'll include this patch into our
package in few hours, when I'm back from work.

I've created a diff from the backends.py file from above URL, and it gets
applied in recently committed 0.4.2-r1. Feel free to reopen this bug if it
doesn't work properly - I've tested it somewhat though, and it seems to work as
advertised.

Thanks for reporting!
