Public bug reported:
On a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.04, deja-dup consistently failed doing
backup, both over SSH, to an external hard drive and to the internal
drive. I tried initiating the backup both using the terminal and from
the GUI. The backup window would show up for a couple of seconds before
displaying «Failed with an unknown error».
Running deja-dup --backup with DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 gave me the following:
DUPLICITY: . Detaljer fra bakstykke-feilmelding: Traceback (most recent call
last):

str(sys.exc_info()[1]))
DUPLICITY: . BackendException: Klarte ikke \xe5 starte bakstykke. No module
named gi.repository
It turned out that installing the package python-gi solved the problem,
and the backup now runs as expected. It seems to me that this package
should have been a dependency of deja-dup.
I am running deja-dup 34.4-0ubuntu1 and duplicity 0.7.06-2ubuntu3.
