[Bug 1700645] Re: Encrypted backup repeatedly asks for password on first use

[Vej]

Hello James,

this should not be triggered by Déjà Dup, but by a combination of a file
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent together with an entry "use-agent"
inside of ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf.

Can you check, if the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent does exist at
your system and if your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf does include use-agent please?

I will move this bug report over to the Downstream Triagers of the
ubuntu package gnupg-agent, which may ask more questions about this.

Bug description:
  Some have reported problems before with repeated demands for
  encryption passwords, but mine gives a different error.  I've deleted
  all my previous backups and reinstalled duplicity and deja-dup, but I
  still get the error:
