In my case, the signature files were lost (after using --extra-clean without forward-thinking).

But for many, keeping signature files on full backups might make no sense, as this metadata is surplus and only takes valuable disk space (these files could be pretty large!).

So why duplicity is unable to restore full backups when there are no corresponding signature files?

It is very weird, as it is totally capable to do so without these files.

Thank you.
