Bug Description

Possibly a duplicate of #519948.

Two backup chains exist on remote.

Running remove-all-but-n-full 1 --force should remove all files associated with
the oldest chain, but signature files are left behind.

This affects signature files from full backups and incremental backups. For the
former, they're left behind on the remote host; for the latter, they're left
behind on both remote and local hosts.

cleanup --force --extra-clean does remove these files, but they should be
removed by remove commands anyway.

Confirming same problem. Commands in current test script (run every 15m) used in order as follows:

duplicity --full-if-older-than 60m --encrypt-key="<phrase>" /home/foo/local/ scp://foo@target/remote/

duplicity remove-all-but-n-full 4 --force --encrypt-key="<phrase>" scp://foo@target/remote/

duplicity cleanup --extra-clean --force --encrypt-key="<phrase>" scp://foo@target/remote/

Using FreeBSD 9.0-Release; duplicity v0.6.19_2 compiled from ports.

I believe this may be related to Bug #519948.
