Re: [Question #658091]: Why does duplicity ask for passwd when --encrypt-key + --sign-key is used???

ardabro is still having a problem:
Does it mean, that duplicity will ask me for this "unnecessary" password when I resume interrupted process?
Does it mean that during a process of backing-up some of my files are encrypted symmetrically for a while?
If it has to ask me for a password when resuming - why cannot ask me for password to my private key? 
What the advantage of using temporary password over encrypting everything asymmetrically from the beginning to the end?

Sorry, but I don't grasp this idea. It looks strange.
