Doh, I forgot to reference the bug in the changelog but I've updated to 43.3
Debian and Ubuntu Kinetic
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/43.3-1ubuntu1
SRU to come next, I will start with 22.04 to get some more feedback
before SRUing to older series
Testing here without a configured account it worked fine to auth to my
google account and do a backup and restore

Title:
Deja Dup's Google support will break in September 2022 for versions <
43.3
Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Hello! I'm the maintainer of Deja Dup. I was recently made aware that
Google is removing an oauth workflow that Deja Dup uses, in September.
Here's their blog post about it:
https://developers.googleblog.com/2022/02/making-oauth-flows-
safer.html
Here's the upstream bug about switching to a new oauth flow:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/deja-dup/-/issues/222
I've released version 43.3 with a new oauth workflow. This basically
switches us from redirecting the oauth page to a local
http://localhost:xxxx/ page being served by deja-dup and instead has
the browser launch a custom URI like
'com.googlecontent.xxx:/oauth2redirect?code=yyy', which then launches
deja-dup and gives it the correct oauth token.
The key differences for packagers is just to note that now deja-dup
will register itself as a handler for those weird URI schemes (they
are specific to deja-dup, as they include its client ids for the
service).
I think this deserves a backport to all supported releases. I can whip
up a patch for you in a bit, just wanted to get this registered as an
issue.
To be a bit more specific about what will break:
- Existing users that have already granted deja-dup access to Google will
continue to work without any issue.
- In August, users will see a warning on the oauth screen.
- And then in September, any new attempt to connect deja-dup to Google will
not work.
