Connection failed: ValueError too many values to unpack

Hi Robert,

Does a simple duplicity command work? For example:
cd /tmp
mkdir dup_test
cd dup_test
mkdir src
mkdir dest
echo "test" > src/test.txt
duplicity src/ file://dest/

If so, I'd start removing lines from your duplicity statement to try to isolate which argument is causing it to fail.

Hi Aaron,
It is the swift:// endpoint. The rest works with file://

Any ideas on what I can look for to debug this?

Thanks,
Robert

hey Robert,

please run with max. verbosity '-v9' and send/pastebin the full command line output. check if it contains information you deem private beforehand and obfuscate where necessary!

..ede/duply.net

env:
export SWIFT_USERNAME="tenant:email"
export SWIFT_PASSWORD="password"
export SWIFT_AUTHURL="https://domain:port/v2.0/tokens"
export SWIFT_AUTHVERSION="2"

# GnuPG
export PASSPHRASE="passphrase"
export SIGN_PASSPHRASE="passphrase"

command: duplicity -v9 --encrypt-key "xxxxxxx" --sign-key "xxxxxxxx" /vol swift://container_name

Output:

this output is _neither_ verbose nor _complete_. it lacks the error stack which i was looking for.

I understand that there isn't much verbosity there but I followed your directions - using -v9. I copied and pasted the entirety of the output.

Please tell me what to change and I will do it:

duplicity -v9 --encrypt-key "xxxxxxx" --sign-key "xxxxxxxx" /vol swift://container_name

It may be coming from the python-swiftclient module. Have you updated that
recently? Try this:

$ pip show python-swiftclient

And post the results here.

pip show python-swiftclient
---
Name: python-swiftclient
Version: 2.6.0
Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Requires: futures, six, requests

smells like a swiftclient issue if max. verbosity does not produce a stack.

1. python-swiftclient 2.6 seems to be quite freshly released. can you try to downgrade to 2.5 and see if that changes anything?

2. shot in the dark, do you by any chance have a '=' in values you pass to swift? found this report about python django (yeah not duplicity)
 http://itanswers.xyz/question/27126924/valueerror-too-many-values-to-unpack-while-deploying-django-app-to-aws

3. does the swift command line client work flawlessly?

Thank you very much edso. It was #2 - it wasn't an '=' but a '-' or a '#'. Much appreciated.
