Hey, Would you mind filing this upstream directly? https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity Thanks!
I didn't know the right usage of parameters. The following command work perfectly: duply laptop purge-full 1 --force
Yeah but the "wrong" parameters shouldn't crash duplicity. That is still a bug that needs to be reported upstream

As pointed out on the upstream Launchpad report, downgrading allowed to work around the problem: Problematic versions: deja-dup-30.0-1.fc20.x86_64 duplicity-0.6.24-2.fc20 downgraded to : duplicity-0.6.21-1.fc20.x86_64 deja-dup-27.3.1-2.fc20.x86_64
