On a Debian-based system using aptitude the dependencies are resolved 
and Duplicity is able to operate normally.

 From Debian 7.4 Wheezy (stable):

Package: duplicity
State: not installed
Version: 0.6.18-3
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Maintainer: Alexander Zangerl <az at debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Uncompressed Size: 1,092 k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5), librsync1 (>= 0.9.6), python (>= 2.7), 
python (< 2.8), python-gnupginterface (>= 0.3.2-9.1)
Recommends: rsync, python-paramiko
Suggests: python-boto, ncftp, python-pexpect (>= 2.3-1), 
python-cloudfiles, lftp, python-gdata, tahoe-lafs
Description: encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup
  Duplicity backs directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes 
and uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because
  duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient 
and only record the parts of files that have changed since
  the last backup. Because duplicity uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign 
these archives, they will be safe from spying and/or
  modification by the server.
