AFYI, about that issue, I have opened another ticket in LP :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/579958 (the comments cited
above were made for another problem actually).

Another user reported in LP that he solved the same problem by removing
2 files from the local archive :
        "It turned out that the problem was caused by two .part files in
        duplicities local archive:
        
        duplicity-inc.20100501T230102Z.to.20100502T230102Z.manifest.part
        
duplicity-new-signatures.20100501T230102Z.to.20100502T230102Z.sigtar.part
        
        deleting these files solved the problem for me"
        
Ain't there any bug, or is this really caused by clock issues... :-/

Hope this helps.
