Re: [Duplicity-talk] AssertionError: time not moving forward at appropriate pace - system clock issues?

[Kenneth Loafman]

No changes in a long while to this piece of code:
    if dup_time.curtime == dup_time.prevtime:
        time.sleep(2)
        dup_time.setcurtime()
        assert dup_time.curtime != dup_time.prevtime, "time not moving \
                forward at appropriate pace - system clock issues?"

Either time.sleep() is not working on your system, or time in general is
not getting updated.  Either way, duplicity will not run because time is
not progressing.  Running at this point would screw up way too much.
