incorrect response BackendException while downloading signatures file

[Robin Nehls]

I get a BackendException like this while downloading the signature file when trying to do an incremental backup over ssh.

BackendException: scp get duplicity-full-signatures.20150320T170744Z.sigtar.gpg failed: incorrect response 'C0600 534440306 duplicity-full-signatures.20150320T170744Z.sigtar.gpg'

The problem seems to be in duplicity/backends/ssh_paramiko_backend.py in line 302 and was introduced in rev 1070. Looks like a slip while fixing pep8. The second condition should be a check for equality not a check for identity.

So
if (m is None or m.group(3) != remote_filename):
instead of
if (m is None or m.group(3) is not remote_filename):

I'm using duplicity 0.7.02 and Python 2.7.9 on Arch Linux x64.

I hope this helps

So long

I was facing this bug and the proposed solution worked for me. I had to manually edit the source code, though. So I please ask to release a version with this fix :)

Thanks a lot for all the hard work, Duplicity rocks!

It'll be out in a couple of weeks.

This is still present on ubuntu 15.10.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Walter-nordmann (walter-nordmann)]

Running ubuntu 16.04 and the problem is still not fixed. manual fix worked fine

[Kenneth Loafman (kenneth-loafman)]

This was fixed in version 0.7.03 in the trunk on 05/11/2015. We are up to 07.07.1 as of 04/19/2016. You might want to upgrade.

[Walter-nordmann (walter-nordmann)]

i installed using the ubuntu repository just this morning.

[Walter-nordmann (walter-nordmann)]

sudo apt-get install python-paramiko

[Kenneth Loafman (kenneth-loafman)]

Go to https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa to and add the repository to your system. Upgrade from there to get the latest stable release. Go to https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/daily for daily builds.

The Ubuntu repos are ancient at the best of times. Sorry about that.
