bzr branch lp:duplicity hangs

[Aaron Whitehouse]

Hi,

$ bzr branch lp:duplicity
hangs in 16.04, with nothing coming up on the command line (i.e. no indication anything at all is happening).

I'm not sure if I got the command right, but:
$ bzr -Dhttp branch lp:duplicity
doesn't add anything.

In the previous release (15.10), it happened occasionally and then would just fix. I've never managed to figure out why.

Everything else internet related is working fine, so I don't think it is connectivity at my end.

Any thoughts?

I worked around this bug by renaming my .bazaar folder in my home directory.
