deja-dup keeps asking for Encryption password - i never set this up

[reliable-robin-22]

while trying to restore some files i was asked for an Encryption password

since i have not set this up i would presume this to be a bug.

not a big for now as my system health BUT it should better documented what this password is for.
and where it is kept on the $HOME.

regards,

system: ubuntu 12.04 amd64

dpkg-query -W deja-dup duplicity
deja-dup 22.0-0ubuntu3
duplicity 0.6.18-0ubuntu3.1

This is an old bug, but in 2014 (with deja-dup 30.0), we changed our detection logic for whether the backup is encrypted or not. I'm guessing this was fixed with that? I'll close this bug out, but if you still see this with a modern deja-dup, please open a new bug. Thank you!
