Bug Description

When duplicity asks for the first time for the passhrase, I enter a password, but I make an unknown typo, the second time when "Retype passphrase to confirm" I type the correct intended passphrase. Duplicity correctly reports "First and second passphrases do not match! Please try again.", but I cannot ctrl-c, nor ctrl-z, or anything, I have to killall duplicity to stop the loop:

~# duplicity . webdavs://user:<email address hidden>/test
GnuPG passphrase:
Synchronizing remote metadata to local cache...
Last full backup date: none
No signatures found, switching to full backup.
Retype passphrase to confirm:
First and second passphrases do not match! Please try again.
Retype passphrase to confirm:

Using
duplicity 0.6.11.

A work-around could be asking the user whether [s]he wants to abort after entering an invalid passphrase.
