Package: duplicity
Version: 0.6.15-2
Severity: normal

My nightly backups started to fail with 0.6.15 since they relied on the
behaviour described in the following way in the duplicity manual:
"""
.... , if SIGN_PASSPHRASE is not set but PASSPHRASE is set, the latter will be
used.
"""
This functionality broke in 0.6.15, but has been restored in upstream revision
780 ( http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~duplicity-
team/duplicity/0.6-series/revision/780 ), on its way for 0.6.16.

Since it made my cron jobs silently prompt for a passphrase, not much was done.
The bug was severe in that it made my backups fail, but it was easily
discovered and fixed by also setting SIGN_PASSPHRASE in my script, after the
abovementioned revision information was found.
