[Duplicity-talk] Error: /usr/lib/python2.7/getpass.py:83:

[Jelle de Jong]

Hello everybody,

I searched the mailing list but could not find a patch for this problem
yet, however I am guessing someone already solved it. Could somebody
direct me to the code patch or otherwise help me out?

debian 8.3
duplicity 0.6.24-1
libpython2.7-stdlib:amd64 2.7.9-2

smells like duplicity is run by cron but needs the passphrase and tries to get it via terminal, but there is none in cron.

supplying the gpg passphrases needed via env var or gpgagent should resolve this.

Solved it by exporting SIGN_PASSPHRASE
