LookupError: unknown encoding: unicode-escape

[duplicity-talk mailing list]

Hello,

On a long-running Ubuntu server (LSB 14.04.6 LSB) backups have been made
with Duplicity 0.6.23 since July 2016. All packages have been regularly
upgraded to their latest versions, but nothing else has been changed.
Even so, from about May 2020, duplicity crashes with the error below. 
Can anything be done about this?

Jan Hartmann

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.
