Not with last version 0.6.22, but I had more problems with duplicity
and webdav with Debian Wheezy package version.
I know Debian it is not your concern, but it is a surprise for me to
see a Debian stable package with such issues. I am trying to discover
if there are duplicity issues or my(connection, bad parameters, server
settings, ...) issues :) I have seen several webdav related problems
with other packages algo (rsync + davfs2 + owncloud, for example). I'm
trying to research about it and to choose a tool which avoided me
future problems.
I like duplicity concept, but I'm trying to decide if it is stable
enough or robust enough for my use cases (very large backups against
webdav accounts).

I know. Thank you, anyway. I will change this when I took a decision
about adopting duplicity as my main backup tool.
