#123 Symmetric encryption does not work anymore, asks for '' private key

[Thomas Kuhlmann]

I am using duply with symmetric encryption.

This is my configuration (gpg relevant part):

GPG_PW='mypassword-for-symmetric'
GPG_OPTS='--compress-algo=bzip2 --personal-cipher-preferences AES256'

There are no other gpg-related configuration entries.

Now duply says running it with 'duply myconfig backup':

None of the configured keys '' has a secret key in the keychain. Decryption will be impossible!

So it seems, duply does not detect anymore, that I am running it with symmetric encryption, and a pre-defined-key. It works well since the last update (of the debian package) and I have not changed anything in my configuration.
