New question #195460 on Duplicity:

This is either a new problem in Ubuntu 12.04, or an improvement in error handling in U. 12.04.

I launch "Backup" from the Ubuntu "Settings" panel. I perform a backup to an external USB drive. The backup job is mostly successful, however a pop-up box appears at the end of the backup job. It informs me that several files were not backed up. These files are all in directory /boot, and they look important.

I can think of two work-arounds:
1. Launch "Backup" with higher permissions.
2. Manually change the permissions of the problematic files in /boot.

I would prefer not to try work-around 2. The problematic files include files related to the latest version of Linux. I am inclined to believe that the Ubuntu installer "knew what it was doing" when it set the permissions on these files.

Any suggestions? Is this a bug that I should file against Ubuntu 12.04?
