Bug Description
During a run of duplicity where the previous run had failed due to a key error, I repeatedly hit the line:
assert dup_time.curtime != dup_time.prevtime, "time not moving forward at appropriate pace - system clock issues?"
when the fault was that "duplicity cleanup" needed to be run. I apologize for not having saved logs. This bug could either be considered a documentation bug or a call for more robust consistency checking of the repository.

Same error as 784098, but as far as I can tell the reason is very different.
