Re: [Duplicity-talk] "Index out of range" error from duplicity when working with remote ssh backup

[Kenneth Loafman]

No, this is a mistake in the code.  I'll have a corrected version out 
shortly along with some other fixes.  Meanwhile, since you are using 
SSH, you might want to drop back to the previous stable version, 0.4.2, 
which is available here:  http://duplicity.nongnu.org/

...Thanks,
