Bug 388831 – app-backup/duplicity-0.6.15 is broken, version bump to 0.6.16

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sven Schwyn (svoop) 2011-10-29 09:41:42 UTC]

Since the upstream release duplicity-0.6.15 has broken GPG support beyond usefulness, please mask this ebuild and version bump to the fixed 0.6.16 release. Thanks!

Reproducible: Always




Here's my upstream bugreport:

Last night's run of 0.6.16 powered backup showed a new, blocking bug with this version which renders s3 support unusable. I thus zap this version bump request.

Last version known to work is 0.6.14 (not currently in the portage tree).
