[Duplicity-talk] Extraneous "Deleting" messages

[Kenneth R Smith]

I run duplicity 0.7.06 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

I make a full backup once a month, and incremental backups daily.
I keep 1 year of full backups on hand, as well as 3 months of 
full+incrementals.

To do this,my script runs duplicity three times:
1) the backup
2) /usr/bin/duplicity remove-older-than 1Y          (with --force)
3) /usr/bin/duplicity remove-all-inc-of-but-n-full 3    (also with --force)

It does exactly what I want, and the older-than-3-month incrementals get 
deleted from the backend.
But each day thereafter , I also get these messages:

The backup chains it mentions are all the older-than-3-month full 
backups, but there are no incrementals left on the backend for it to delete.
It does not cause a problem, but it seems like it should not comment on 
those once they are really gone.
FWIW, I'm at the default verbosity level.
