I suspect that the problem may have arisen because this system was 
upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty and has both Python 2.5 and 2.6 installed.

I have manually removed the old 0.5.08 packages and re-installed 0.6.0. 
Duplicity now works correctly. However, there is one thing that is 
puzzling me. Previous to 0.6.0 the installer always placed duplicity in 
/usr/bin and now it defaults to /usr/local/bin.

I haven't change the way I run the installer: sudo python setup.py 
install. Reading the distutils docs for python 2.5 and 2.6 indicates 
that the default was always /usr/local/bin, so I don't know why it 
originally ended up in /usr/bin.
