Description

Hi,

Pruning of old backups is broken right now. I have attached the details of my deployment:

```
❯ k cnpg version
Build: {Version:1.25.0 Commit:bad5a251 Date:2024-12-23}
```

```
Image ID: ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg/plugin-barman-cloud-sidecar-testing@sha256:77a3497a7c98bd1950329a9fdb62005f823ed2e84de1fc7430fde892d313f7d0
```

```

```

I have deployed the plugin using kustomization: `https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/plugin-barman-cloud/kubernetes?ref=v0.5.0`

Research direction

Start with internal/cnpgi/instance/retention.go, especially CatalogMaintenanceRunnable. Trace its call into barman-cloud/pkg/command/backupdelete.go and reproduce the failure using the reported plugin and image versions. Done means retention enforcement can read the listed backup catalogs and delete backups without the BackupInfo encryption error.
