Title:
  Duplicity crashes when called -- UnicodeDecodeError

Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Since some time ago, duplicity, called automatically by ubuntu's deja-
  dup, crashes upon each startup. I cannot even change the settings.
  Some online posts suggested deleting the backup, which I did. There
  are some corrupted files I could not delete (with non-unicode
  characters in their names). I have seen that there was a bug with
  unicode decoding in an earlier version, but I am running the updated
  one.

  Here's the output of duplicity:

  Duplicity version: 0.6.23-1ubuntu5
  Deja-dup version: 32.0-0ubuntu1
  Python version: 32.0-0ubuntu1
  OS version: ubuntu 14.10

  Sorry I do not know how to extract the exact command line deja-dup
  uses to call duplicity.
