    Greetings,
    I am attempting to clean out some of my older backups using the duplicity remove-older-than command, but I'm getting an exception. Â I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and duplicity 0.6.18. Â The command and stack trace follow:


    $ sudo duplicity remove-older-than 1Y --force "file:///media/EZ BUS DT/MachineName/DuplicityBackups/home_backup"
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    Â File "/usr/local/bin/duplicity", line 1236, in <module>
    Â  Â with_tempdir(main)
    Â File "/usr/local/bin/duplicity", line 1229, in with_tempdir
    Â  Â fn()
    Â File "/usr/local/bin/duplicity", line 1115, in main
    Â  Â action = commandline.ProcessCommandLine(sys.argv[1:])
    Â File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/commandline.py", line 975, in ProcessCommandLine
    Â  Â args = parse_cmdline_options(cmdline_list)
    Â File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/commandline.py", line 592, in parse_cmdline_options
    Â  Â globals.remove_time = dup_time.genstrtotime(arg)
    Â File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/duplicity/dup_time.py", line 278, in genstrtotime
    Â  Â return override_curtime - intstringtoseconds(timestr)
    TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'NoneType' and 'int'

    I tried replacing 1Y with 365D with the same result. Â Is this
something as silly as the order of my options, or a real bug?

    Thanks!


Did you use '365 D' or '365D'? Â '1 Y' would not work because of the space. Â See TIME FORMATS in the man page.
