Reopening. I can easily believe we don't handle a symlinked cache file
well.

Title:
'metadata' file not found when creating backup ("Could not restore
‘/home/user /.cache/deja-dup/metadata’: File not found in backup"
Status in Déjà Dup:
New
Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Linux release: Ubuntu 13.04 64bit
Kernel: 3.8.0-29-generic
Python: 2.7.4
Deja Dup: 26.0
Duplicity: 0.6.21
Hi. I've tried to do my monthly or so backup recently, but Deja Dup
crashed after trying to backup a very large file (VM disk with Windows
7, 50GB or so). I tried to do another one, this time excluding all my
large VM's. However, now when trying to do a backup I'm getting the
following error a few seconds after inputting my encryption password:
Could not restore ‘/home/tom/.cache/deja-dup/metadata’: File not found
in backup
I've tried reinstalling both deja-dup and duplicity, purging
duplicity, deleting deja-dup and duplicity from /home/tom/.cache,
deleting the backup files on the external drive, deleting it's config
as described here http://askubuntu.com/questions/53980/how-to-delete-
all-the-settings-for-deja-dup. I know (well, I have some evidence
supporting this) that the drive itself isn't faulty as I managed to
backup my old laptop to the drive using duplicity and it worked fine
(Fedora 19, deja dup 26.0 I think). I will upload the appropriate logs
momentarily.
