Thanks. The main advantage of sticking with apt is unattended-upgrades
makes it easy to be sure security updates are applied automatically. I’m
not familiar with a similar solution for pip, and it sounds like
“upgrade everything” isn’t that straightforward (according to
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3819).

Any idea why the 0.7.14 release works? Was there a refactoring that
extracted out the B2 code? Perhaps a warning when upgrading about any
removed libraries would help future upgraders.

Title:
  B2 Python APIs are missing

Status in Duplicity:
  In Progress
Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I try to use the B2 backend with
  0.7.16-0ubuntu1ppa1347~ubuntu16.04.1, I get the following error:

  > BackendException: B2 backend requires B2 Python APIs (pip install
  b2)

  It seems odd to me that the library would be installed outside of apt.
  I had an old package from trusty
  (duplicity_0.7.14-0ubuntu0ppa1316~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb) with 0.7.14
  which works fine on 16.04, which makes me think this regression was in
  0.7.15 or 0.7.16.
