Re: [Duplicity-talk] Problem restoring file from archive

[Kenneth Loafman]

That's an older version.  Please upgrade to the current version, 0.7.15.  This will assure that any bugs fixed since your release are available and may fix your issue.

There are three options:

• Release tarball Install - https://launchpad.net/duplicity/+download
• Daily duplicity builds - https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/daily
• Stable duplicity builds - https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

NOTE: UNinstall duplicity first if it was installed via the distribution repository.  For Ubuntu, that would be "sudo apt-get purge duplicity".
