[Duplicity-talk] duplicity assertion error ... help needed

[Arone Silimantia]

I am running python 2.4.

When I run duplicity:

sudo python2.4 /usr/bin/duplicity /var/mail
scp://address@hidden//dir/dir

it actually starts working just fine and transfers a
fair amount of data:

GnuPG passphrase:
No signatures found, switching to full backup.
tmpSE1j2U     100% 5172KB 161.6KB/s   00:32
tmpl7GXQq     100% 5162KB 139.5KB/s   00:37
... and so on ...

but then it bombs out with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 358, in ?
    if __name__ == "__main__": main()
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 351, in main
    if not sig_chain: full_backup(col_stats)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 134, in full_backup
    bytes_written = write_multivol("full",
tarblock_iter, globals.backend)
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 75, in
write_multivol
    globals.gpg_profile)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/gpg.py",
line 211, in GPGWriteFile
    try: data = block_iter.next(bytes_to_go).data
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py",
line 407, in next
    result = self.process(self.input_iter.next(),
size)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py",
line 277, in get_delta_iter_w_sig
    (new_path, sig_path, sigTarFile))
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/robust.py",
line 31, in check_common_error
    try: return function(*args)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py",
line 309, in get_delta_path_w_sig
    if not new_path.isreg(): sigTarFile.addfile(ti)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/tarfile.py",
line 757, in addfile
    assert len(full_headers) % BLOCKSIZE == 0
AssertionError


It ends with "assertion error".  I googled for
duplicity and assertion error, and found almost
nothing ... I am hoping this is some kind of easily
fixable python error ...

Thanks.
