Hello, I previously have this problem (with sudo), and solve it, I don't remember how. Today the bug also here but it is strange, I use the ppa with the 2.1.2 and duplicity folder on /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ is empty. So I think the bug is link to that. I have the same message write in bug description.
I try to build duplicity : https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity python3 setup.py install It work but when I start backup I have a new error message : "Backups requires at least version 0.7.14 of duplicity, but only found version 0.0.00" The "duplicity --version" return "duplicity $version" so I found __init__.py in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/duplicity and replace "__version__ = '$version'" by "__version__ = '2.1.2'". It work's. Do you think it is really correct ? How it could work without root ? Can anybody look the problem and found another solution ?
