Did you actually experience an issue with SSH? Deja Dup doesn't use duplicity's normal ssh backend, it connects to ssh servers through its gio backend. So python-paramiko isn't used in the normal cases.
I'll mark this as invalid, but if I'm wrong, please re-open. ** Changed in: deja-dup Status: Triaged => Invalid ** No longer affects: deja-dup (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472598 Title: Deja-dup should not propose ssh as storage location when python- paramiko is not installed Status in Déjà Dup: Invalid Bug description: As far as I understand things, duplicity uses paramiko for ssh2 protocol. But python-paramiko is only a suggestion for duplicity package. When the user does not have this package installed on its system, he/she can still select "ssh" as storage location method in deja-dup. So I guess deja-dup should explicitely depend on python-paramiko, or make ssh option unavailable if the package is not present. Option 2 would be preferred, as the user will get a chance to know something is missing.
