yeah, please file a bug on launchpad, but check if there is a similar entry
first please.
also point to this mail thread (via gmane or some) for others to read.
i still haven't and probably for some time will not have time to disect the
issue.
first and foremost. the local cache (archive-dir) functionality was introduced
with 0.6 by Kenneth (the maintainer), so we should ask him what he thinks the
issue is here. i tried before, but haven't got an anser. i'll cc him again.
Ken: any idea on this? cite from below: "duplicity will sometimes decide to
retrieve a manifest from the remote backup location even though there's a copy
in the local cache"
