Re: [Duplicity-talk] LookupError: unknown encoding: unicode-escape

[Scott Hannahs]

It looks like a unicode problem.  If you have unicode issues you should really 
really update to Duplicity 0.8.X (preferably X=14).  It may be some packages 
are unicode aware and duplicity is not.

I think you will have to restart your duplicity sequence with a new full backup 
since there is a incompatibility in files between 0.6.X and 0.8.X.
