GPG Failed: bad session key

Asked by Hnyk Daniel

Hello,

I have successfully done backup on my network hdd, but now I cannot do another backup nor list files. When I try to list files I get:

$ duplicity -v9 list-current-files file:///media/extq/backup/smecpi_dupl

Hello. This is not the same problem as the previous one. I experienced this bug later on and the errors are different.

Daniel,

true, but from my experience they should have the same solution. the one you used in the other thread.

I don't know what happened. It was probably some gpg "feature"... Sorry for this.
