Package: duplicity
Version: 0.6.06-3
Severity: important

Hi.

since 0.6, duplicity uses a local cache of previous backups (mainly useful for 
incremental mode) that's stored in the archive-dir, by default in 
~/.cache/duplicity/

However, there's currently a problem in the way this dir is managed, since 
traces of old backups tend to accumulate.

This problem is known by upstream, so hopefully fixed soon, but in any case, I 
prefer to trace the problem on Debian side, to make sure it is fixed before 
next stable release. 

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/519948 for more details.

Note that this is particularly annoying when using duplicity as a backupninja 
backend/handler, if using the incremental mode in the dup handler of 
backupninja (See #572523 for other problems related to the way backupninja 
manages duplicity).

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
