New question #664503 on Duplicity:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/664503
Hi,
I am using duplicity via deja-dup to create backups; but recently it stopped
working, stating "BackendException: Hintergrundprogramm konnte nicht
initialisiert werden: cannot import name Gio" (sorry for the german error
messages, unfortunately I failed to switch to english messages).
The command causing this error (reduced to the minimum):
$ duplicity --gio collection-status file:///tmp
…
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1532, in <module>
with_tempdir(main)
File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1526, in with_tempdir
fn()
File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1364, in main
action = commandline.ProcessCommandLine(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/commandline.py", line 1108,
in ProcessCommandLine
globals.backend = backend.get_backend(args[0])
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/backend.py", line 223, in
get_backend
obj = get_backend_object(url_string)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/backend.py", line 211, in
get_backend_object
raise BackendException(_("Could not initialize backend: %s") %
str(sys.exc_info()[1]))
BackendException: Hintergrundprogramm konnte nicht initialisiert werden: cannot
import name Gio
Removing --gio from the command fixes the problem, but since the command is
created by deja-dup I have no idea how to get rid of that option.
A possible solutions I found was that the package python-gi might be missing;
it was already installed, and even a
$ apt install --reinstall python-gi
did not help.
My OS: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Version of duplicity: 0.7.06
I'd really appreciate any help…
regards
Dan
