Bug Description

I corrected a spelling error in duplicity-bin, changing "remove-older-then" to "remove-older-than." I realized that it could have been causing a passphrase to be requested when unnecessary, so I tested it. It's still asking for a passphrase.

On a closer look, I realized that line 100 should be referring to the true internal action name, which is really "remove-old." I changed this and it works as intended.

Commit to come.

Michael, this affects Déjà Dup only because it looks like you included some code to work around this bug. It may not hurt anything to leave in that workaround, though.

Ah, yeah, thanks Larry for fixing that for real. It was one of those things I worked around and never got back to investigating. As you say though, probably doesn't hurt to leave it the workaround in the Deja Dup source. I'll leave it for now, and thus mark it "Won't Fix"
