Question #183711 on Duplicity changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/183711

edso posted a new comment:
i just checked the code and cannot see why gpg-agent with duplicity
shouldn't work (make sure to use --gpg-agent and to monitor your backup
if gpg-agent asks for the passphrase). the patch mentioned above
actually only uses an old proven to work routine to decrypt the first
volume to make sure encryption settings are still identical to the
existing first volume on the backend.

could we please get a wrap overview of who still has issues using 
 gpg-agent
and who uses
 ordinary PASSPHRASE env var
?

as it looks like using PASSPHRASE works sometimes i like to single out
the gpg agent issue into a new bug and treat issues with that there.

a Note on gpg-agent: i hope all of you using it are aware that it has a
hardcoded maximum cache time (i recall 4h) meaning that passphrases time
out pretty fast, even if you give it a very long timeout time. so it
actually does not allow for unattended backups.
