Re: [Question #239432]: Why duplicity has no option to restore full backups ignoring missing signature files?

 

Question #239432 on Duplicity changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/239432

Dan Flexy posted a new comment:
I've tried to get you a console output and it worked... !

Apparently, I was fooled that list-current-files did not work without signatures.
I was under impression that if duplicity refuses to list files, they can't be restored.

So whilst no longer that critical, I guess my question could be re-
phrased to:

"Why duplicity can not list files in a full backup when signature files
are absent?"

# ls -la /tmp/dup/
-rwxr-xr-x  1          201 Nov 18 22:30 duplicity-full.20130701T020002Z.manifest.gpg
-rwxr-xr-x  1 2437421 Nov 18 22:30 duplicity-full.20130701T020002Z.vol1.difftar.gpg

# duplicity list-current-files file:///tmp/dup/

...
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/collections.py", line 974, in get_signature_chain_at_time
    raise CollectionsError("No signature chains found")
CollectionsError: No signature chains found

Many thanks
