use-agent issue with version 0.7.12

[Éric Lemoine]

I use the following command for backups:

    duplicity --verbosity info --full-if-older-than 1M --sign-key 5BBF59DF126FADEF --encrypt-key 57F334375840CA38 --use-agent --exclude-filelist excludes.txt /home/elemoine file:///media/usb/backup

It fails with duplicity 0.7.12. This is the GPG error I get:

The same command completes without errors with 0.7.11. It sounds like a gpg-agent/pinentry related issue. Is this a regression? Do I need to change something in my Duplicity or/and GPG configuration?

This is what my gpg-agent.conf looks like:

    # set the defaut cache time to 2 hours
    default-cache-ttl 7200

    # set the max cache time to 8 hours
    max-cache-ttl 28800

    # use pinentry-gtk-2
    pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2

    # do not allow external cache
    no-allow-external-cache
