Bug Description
Deja Dup and/or duplicity is failing for me now. This might have been triggered by my being away from the machine when the SSH passphrase prompt came up, and the session timing out. Or that may be a red herring.
The "Backup Failed / Failed with an unknown error:" window has this traceback in it:

This looks a bit like bug 1652410. For some reason, you have an encrypted and non-encrypted version of duplicity- full.20160527T0 63251Z. manifest and duplicity gets confused.
If it's just that one file, delete the one that doesn't belong. If it's more than that, start a new backup? I think an old duplicity bug could sometimes get you in that state.
I'll mark as a dup, but unmark if you think I've erred.
