[Bug 1281066] Re: Needs to backport trusty's fix to handle duplicity's lockfile

[Louis Bouchard]

I forgot to mention one important thing for sponsors :

I was not able to build deja-dup from the source pkg with or _WITHOUT_
the patches using sbuild.  pbuilder worked fine, as well as building as
a PPA. Here is the resulting PPA for reference :

Title:
  Needs to backport trusty's fix to handle duplicity's lockfile

Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “deja-dup” source package in Precise:
  In Progress
Status in “deja-dup” source package in Saucy:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  SRU justification :

  Duplicity implements a new lockfile that impacts deja-dup
  functionality. A fix to remove the lockfile is already commited
  upstream and in Trusty. The SRU is to make the fix available before
  duplicity's SRU is completed

  Impact :

  Without this SRU, duplicity's SRU for LP: #1266763 cannot be completed
  or it may result in regression issues

  Fix :

  Remove the lockfile since concurrency is handled in DBUS in deja-dup

  Test Case : 
  TBD

  Regression :

  None expected as it remove a file that is only present with newer
  versions of duplicity

  Description of the problem :

  See justification
