Glad to hear ttf-mscorefonts-installer now installs successfully.

I got the warnings too, they were there before (in addition to the
error). They don't show up every time. This is probably something to
report against update-notifier or apt-helper one day.

[Bug 1607535] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts

[Nathanaël Naeri]

** Description changed:

  [Symptoms]
  
  When installing or updating the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer in
  Ubuntu 16.04 or 16.10, an error message appears in a GUI window,
  indicating "failure to download extra data files" (the fonts themselves)
  "after package installation" (the package itself appears to have been
  installed). This error message re-appears regularly, as a cron-job re-
  tries the failed download.
  
  If installing or updating from the command line, additional failure
  information is given in an error message prefixed by "E:", but this
  error message depends on the mirror server which is contacted for the
  download: "404 Not Found" is common, but there is also "Protocol http
  not supported or disabled in libcurl", and complains about invalid
  Content-Range headers.
  
  [Cause]
  
  The current 3.4 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer in Ubuntu 16.04
  delegates the download of the proprietary Microsoft Core Fonts for the
  Web (Andale, Arial...) to the package update-notifier, which itself
  delegates it to the program apt-helper provided by the package apt. The
  download URL points to the host downloads.sourceforge.net, which
  redirects to a randomly-chosen mirror server
  .dl.sourceforge.net.
  
  Unfortunately, the program apt-helper has a bug in the way it treats
  redirections. This bug makes apt-helper keep a space in the URL instead
  of encoding it to %20 before contacting the mirror. It is more
  extensively documented in bug 1655431 and bug 1651923. The mirror
  replies to this malformed request with an error message (e.g. "404 Not
  Found"), and download fails.
  
  Some mirrors appear to understand the malformed request nonetheless, and
  send the requested font file, however since there are 11 fonts to
  download, the chances of getting 11 understanding mirrors are low. Hence
  why the error message usually concerns andale32.exe or arial32.exe
  instead of webdin32.exe.
  
  [Workaround 1]
  
  Download the fonts manually and put them all in the same directory. You
  can use wget for that, because contrary to apt-helper, it handles
  redirections fine (command line formatted for readability, do not
  include line breaks and line indents):
  
    $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/
    {andale32.exe,arial32.exe,arialb32.exe,comic32.exe,courie32.exe,
    georgi32.exe,impact32.exe,times32.exe,trebuc32.exe,verdan32.exe,
    webdin32.exe}
  
  Or you can use your browser: point it to
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final and
  download the same files.
  
  Make sure the package is purged and no remaining setup triggers are
  remaining, using your favorite package manager or command-line APT:
  
    $ sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  
  Then reinstall the package, this time pointing to the previously-
  downloaded fonts in a second step:
  
    $ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  # (this will most likely fail again)
    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  
  The second command should return a "graphical" interface in the
  terminal. Use it to point to the directory where you downloaded the
  fonts (/path/to/directory/containing/the/fonts). Make sure no .deb files
  are in this directory, they seem to be picked up too and then it fails.
  
  If a pop-up shows up for a post-install action later, just let it run,
  it shouldn't come back. It may triggered by the file /var/lib/update-
  notifier/user.d/data-downloads-failed and you may be successful in
  avoiding the regularly-reappearing message by removing this file. But
  this point is less clear.
  
  Once everything is working, you can delete the downloaded fonts in .exe
  format, they have been uncompressed and installed in
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts in .ttf format.
  
  Adapted from: Vincent Gerris (comment 17), Lesley Binks (comment 18).
  
  [Workaround 2]
  
  Remove Ubuntu's version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer and install
  Debian's version instead. Indeed, Debian's version uses wget to download
  the fonts, and contrary to apt-helper, wget handles redirections fine.
  
  Download the package from https://packages.debian.org/ttf-mscorefonts-
  installer. Version 3.6 has been tested by several users. This workaround
  should work with Debian's version 3.4+nmu1 too, but then you'd be
  prompted to update to Ubuntu's problematic version 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 next
  time you update your packages.
  
  To download the package with wget (command line formatted for
  readability, do not include line break and line indent):
  
    $ wget http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/
    msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb
  
  Purge your currently-installed Ubuntu version of the package using your
  favorite package manager or command-line APT, and install the Debian
  version with dpkg:
  
    $ sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
    $ sudo dpkg --install

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Solch ein Problem hatte ich noch nie gesehen. Ich habe die folgenden
potenziellen Lösungen auf Google gefunden (frag "package is in a very
inconsistent state"). Vom weichsten bis zum härtesten:

1) Sieh mal in /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/
wenn es Dateien gibt, die aussehen, als ob sie teilweise von ttf-
mscorefonts-installer heruntergeladen wurden (z.B. Schriftarten). Wenn
ja, entfern sie:

  sudo rm /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/

Dann rekonfiguriere das Paket (ich wäre überrascht, wenn es genug ist):

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer

2) Korrigiere eine defekte Installation mit apt-get:

  sudo apt-get clean
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade
  sudo apt-get install --fix-broken

Dann entfern das halbinstallierte Paket:

  sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer

3) Erzwinge das Entfernen eines Pakets, auch wenn es gebrochen und
markiert ist, eine Neuinstallation zu brauchen (ich glaube, das sollte
dein Problem lösen):

  sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Wenn dpkg über Abhängigkeiten klagt, gib die Option --force-depends an
dieser Befehlszeile dazu, und führe danach "sudo apt-get install --fix-
broken" aus, um die Abhängigkeiten zu reparieren, die du gerade
gebrochen habst.

Du kannst dann das Paket normalerweise wie in Kommentar 3 beschrieben
neu installieren (vergiss nicht, apt-transport-https auf Version 1.2.19
zu aktualisieren, bevor du es neu installierst).

4) Brute-force alles. Diese Befehle wurden berichtet, in einem Fall zu
arbeiten:

  mkdir /tmp/msttcorefonts
  sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.* /tmp/msttcorefonts/
  sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  sudo apt-get autoremove
  sudo apt-get autoclean

Wenn diese Befehle ohne Fehler ausgeführt werden, kannst du das Paket
nun wie in Kommentar 3 beschrieben neu installieren (vergiss nicht, apt-
transport-https auf Version 1.2.19 zu aktualisieren, bevor du es erneut
installierst).

Wenn du diese Befehle nicht fehlerfrei ausführen kannst, verschiebe die
dpkg-Informationen zurück:

  sudo mv /tmp/msttcorefonts/* /var/lib/dpkg/info/

5) Suche und entfern den Abschnitt über ttf-mscorefonts-installer in
/var/lib/dpkg/status (du musst es als root öffnen, z.B. mit "sudo gedit
/var/lib/dpkg/status"). Versuche dann, das Paket wie in Kommentar 3
beschrieben neu zu installieren (vergiss nicht, apt-transport-https auf
Version 1.2.19 zu aktualisieren).

[Nathanaël Naeri]

I had never seen such an issue. I found the following potential
solutions on Google (look up "package is in a very bad inconsistent
state"). From softest to hardest:

1) Check in /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/ if
there are files that look like they were partially downloaded by ttf-
mscorefonts-installer (e.g. fonts). If yes remove them:

  sudo rm /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/

Then reconfigure the package (I'd be surprised if it's enough):

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer

2) Correct a broken installation with apt-get:

  sudo apt-get clean
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade
  sudo apt-get install --fix-broken

Then try removing the half-installed package:

  sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer

3) Force the removal of a package even if it's broken and marked to
require reinstallation (I think this should fix your problem):

  sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq ttf-mscorefonts-installer

If dpkg complains about dependencies, add the option --force-depends to
this command line, and right afterwards run "sudo apt-get install --fix-
broken" to fix the dependencies you just broke.

You can then normally reinstall the package as explained in comment 3
(don't forget to update apt-transport-https to version 1.2.19 before
reinstalling).

4) Brute force everything, these commands have been reported to work in
one case:

  mkdir /tmp/msttcorefonts
  sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.* /tmp/msttcorefonts/
  sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  sudo apt-get autoremove
  sudo apt-get autoclean

If these commands run without error, you can now normally reinstall the
package as explained in comment 3 (don't forget to update apt-transport-
https to version 1.2.19 before reinstalling).

But if you couldn't complete these commands without error, move the dpkg
information back:

  sudo mv /tmp/msttcorefonts/* /var/lib/dpkg/info/

5) Find and remove the section about ttf-mscorefonts-installer in
/var/lib/dpkg/status (you must open it as root, e.g. with "sudo gedit
/var/lib/dpkg/status"). Then try reinstalling the package as explained
in comment 3 (don't forget to update apt-transport-https to version
1.2.19).

[Bug 1607535] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts

[Nathanaël Naeri]

** Description changed:

  [Symptoms]
  
  When installing or updating the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer in
  Ubuntu 16.04 or 16.10, an error message appears in a GUI window,
  indicating "failure to download extra data files" (the fonts themselves)
  "after package installation" (the package itself appears to have been
  installed). This error message re-appears regularly, as a cron-job re-
  tries the failed download.
  
  If installing or updating from the command line, additional failure
  information is given in an error message prefixed by "E:", but this
  error message depends on the mirror server which is contacted for the
  download: "404 Not Found" is common, but there is also "Protocol http
  not supported or disabled in libcurl", and complains about invalid
  Content-Range headers.
  
  [Cause]
  
  The current 3.4 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer in Ubuntu 16.04
  delegates the download of the proprietary Microsoft Core Fonts for the
  Web (Andale, Arial...) to the package update-notifier, which itself
  delegates it to the program apt-helper provided by the package apt. The
  download URL points to the host downloads.sourceforge.net, which
  redirects to a randomly-chosen mirror server
  .dl.sourceforge.net.
  
  Unfortunately, the program apt-helper has a bug in the way it treats
  redirections. This bug makes apt-helper keep a space in the URL instead
  of encoding it to %20 before contacting the mirror. It is more
  extensively documented in bug 1655431 and bug 1651923. The mirror
  replies to this malformed request with an error message (e.g. "404 Not
  Found"), and download fails.
  
  Some mirrors appear to understand the malformed request nonetheless, and
  send the requested font file, however since there are 11 fonts to
  download, the chances of getting 11 understanding mirrors are low. Hence
  why the error message usually concerns andale32.exe or arial32.exe
  instead of webdin32.exe.
  
  [Workaround 1]
  
  Download the fonts manually and put them all in the same directory. You
  can use wget for that, because contrary to apt-helper, it handles
  redirections fine (command line formatted for readability, do not
  include line breaks and line indents):
  
-   $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/
-   {andale32.exe,arial32.exe,arialb32.exe,comic32.exe,courie32.exe,
-   georgi32.exe,impact32.exe,times32.exe,trebuc32.exe,verdan32.exe,
-   webdin32.exe}
+   $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/
+   {andale32.exe,arial32.exe,arialb32.exe,comic32.exe,courie32.exe,
+   georgi32.exe,impact32.exe,times32.exe,trebuc32.exe,verdan32.exe,
+   webdin32.exe}
  
  Or you can use your browser: point it to
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final and
  download the same files.
  
  Make sure the package is purged and no remaining setup triggers are
  remaining, using your favorite package manager or command-line APT:
  
-   $ sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
+   $ sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  
  Then reinstall the package, this time pointing to the previously-
  downloaded fonts in a second step:
  
-   $ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
- # (this will most likely fail again)
-   $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer
+   $ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
+ # (this will most likely fail again)
+   $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  
  The second command should return a "graphical" interface in the
  terminal. Use it to point to the directory where you downloaded the
  fonts (/path/to/directory/containing/the/fonts). Make sure no .deb files
  are in this directory, they seem to be picked up too and then it fails.
  
  If a pop-up shows up for a post-install action later, just let it run,
  it shouldn't come back. It may triggered by the file /var/lib/update-
  notifier/user.d/data-downloads-failed and you may be successful in
  avoiding the regularly-reappearing message by removing this file. But
  this point is less clear.
  
  Once everything is working, you can delete the downloaded fonts in .exe
  format, they have been uncompressed and installed in
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts in .ttf format.
  
  Adapted from: Vincent Gerris (comment 17), Lesley Binks (comment 18).
  
  [Workaround 2]
  
  Remove Ubuntu's version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer and install
  Debian's version instead. Indeed, Debian's version uses wget to download
  the fonts, and contrary to apt-helper, wget handles redirections fine.
  
  Download the package from https://packages.debian.org/ttf-mscorefonts-
  installer. Version 3.6 has been tested by several users. This workaround
  should work with Debian's version 3.4+nmu1 too, but then you'd be
  prompted to update to Ubuntu's problematic version 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 next
  time you update your packages.

This bug has been fixed in apt-transport-https 1.2.19 (xenial) and 1.3.4
(yakkety), released 2017-01-26, by Julian Klode in bug 1651923.

If you are still affected by it, update apt-transport-https to the
appropriate version and reinstall Ubuntu's version of ttf-mscorefonts-
installer. You should remove Debian's version of ttf-mscorefonts-
installer beforehand, if you installed it (unless you want to keep using
Debian's version of course).

If you run into Content-Range errors when reinstalling ttf-mscorefonts-
installer, remove the downloaded fonts in /var/lib/update-notifier
/package-data-downloads/partial/ and try again. This is a different bug,
also fixed recently, but not backported to Xenial and Yakkety yet (bug
1657567).

Robin:

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner.

For 16.04, this bug has been fixed in apt-transport-https 1.2.19,
released Jan 26, 2017, so you shouldn't run into it again with the
Ubuntu ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4 package, provided you update apt-

For 14.04, I cannot reproduce what you describe. On my own 14.04
machine, I am able to install Ubuntu's ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4
without any error. Your issue may have a different cause. If you can
still reproduce it, please open a new bug report with as much

[Bug 1658482] Re: Installer unable to recover from previous failures

[Nathanaël Naeri]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1607535 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607535

This is bug 1607535, fixed in package apt-transport-https 1.2.19
(released to Xenial and Yakkety on Jan 26) by Julian Klode in bug
1651923. Update apt-transport-https (and possibly the other apt
packages, for good measure) to 1.2.19 (Xenial) or 1.3.4 (Yakkety), and
reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer (or purge and install). Please
report if it fails.

See bug 1649203#13 if you run into Content-Range error messages.

[Bug 1437764] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer doesn't work from Ubuntu Software Center because of EULA, breaks APT

[Nathanaël Naeri]

@Alain: not the same bug, you clearly have accepted the EULA already
(it's written in the output). See bug 1649203/comments/13 for your
Content-Range issue. Also make sure that apt-transport-https is 1.2.19
to avoid bug 1607535. Then you can remove Debian's version of ttf-
mscorefonts-installer with "sudo dpkg -P /path/to/ttf-mscorefonts-
installer_3.6_all.deb", and reinstall the Ubuntu one (that said the
Debian version works fine too).

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Wahrscheinlich war ttf-mscorefonts-installer nicht erfolgreich
installiert. Leider wird eine neue Installation ttf-mscorefonts-
installer wegen bug 1607535 auch scheitern, weil es sieht aus, deine
Version apt < 1.2.19 ist. Versuch mal, ttf-mscorefonts-installer zu
löschen, deine apt Pakete bis 1.2.19 zu upgraden, und ttf-mscorefonts-
installer wiederzuinstallieren:

  sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Wenn du das ganze System nicht aktualisieren möchtest, schreibst du
"install apt-transport-https" an Stelle von "dist-upgrade", um nur
bestimmte Pakete zu aktualisieren. Die Fehlerbehebung befindet sich im
apt-transport-https, aber du kannst alle aktualisierbaren apt Pakete
aktualisieren, wenn du willst: du kannst sie mit "apt list --upgradable
apt\*" finden.

[Nathanaël Naeri]

It looks like a previous install of ttf-mscorefonts-installer failed.
But reinstalling it may fail because of bug 1607535, since your version
of apt is apparently < 1.2.19. Try removing it completely, updating apt
packages to 1.2.19, and reinstalling it:

  sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

If you don't want to upgrade your whole system, use "install apt-
transport-https" instead of "dist-upgrade" to upgrade only specific
packages. The fix is in apt-transport-https, but you may want to upgrade
all upgradeable APT packages for consistency: you can find them with
"apt list --upgradable apt\*".

Not exactly the same error message as in widely-impacting bug 1607535,
but almost, and judging by the attachments to your bug report, your
version of package apt-transport-https is < 1.2.19. Please update this
package (and other apt packages, for good measure) to 1.2.19, and retry
(reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer). Chances are it's the same bug,

[Bug 1649203] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer always complains about cannot download data because http is not support by libcurl?

[Nathanaël Naeri]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1651923 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1651923

That particular error ("The HTTP server sent an invalid Content-Range
header"), contrary to the previous one ("Protocol "http" not supported
or disabled in libcurl"), has a different cause than apt-transport-https
being v < 1.2.19. It is due to Sourceforge not answering correctly to a
request for partial download on a redirect, when the file has already
been partially downloaded (if I understand correctly). See bug 1651923,
comments 45 47 50.

That Content-Range issue with partial downloads on Sourceforge was fixed
in bug 1657567 a few days ago, but the fix might only land in the next
release of Ubuntu, it might not be backported to the current releases.

>From what I understand you can solve this issue by deleting the partial
downloads in /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/,
and trying again. But I'm not 100% sure. If not perhaps try sudo apt-get
purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer?

[Bug 1657092] Re: deja-dup refers to "Files" instead of "Caja"

[Nathanaël Naeri]

It could be fixed in Ubuntu MATE if they had their own fork of Déjà-Dup,
like they have their own fork of Files, Gedit, Eye of GNOME, Evince,
GNOME Terminal, File Roller.

Another Nautilus fork, Nemo, retained the name Files for its icon in the
menus. Didn't MATE did the same?

I can only suggest the following patch, as I'm not a Déjà-Dup developer.
I can't tell if it's a good change : "a compatible file manager" is less
computer-illiterate-friendly than "Files" or "Caja".

** Patch added: "Change "Files" to "a compatible file manager" to encompass 
Nautilus forks e.g. Caja"

Did you upgrade apt-transport-https? The fix is in this binary package,
not in the apt binary package (both being compiled from the same source
package named apt, yes it is confusing). See bug 1651923 comments 39 to

[Bug 1079552] Re: Unexpectedly asks for authentication halfway through file restore process

[Nathanaël Naeri]

I have recently encountered that message during the verification step of
a backup. This was extremely disconcerting, as the data being backed up
was user data with adequate permissions.

Déjà Dup should not ask for elevated privileges without explaining why
it needs them, and it probably should not ask for elevated privileges at
all.

[Bug 1657092] Re: deja-dup refers to "Files" instead of "Caja"

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Does it work though? In Caja? Do you get the restore/revert options when
you right-click?

Cause if I understand correctly those are allowed by libdeja-dup.so in
/usr/lib/[x86_64-linux-gnu]/nautilus/extensions-3.0, so perhaps Caja
looks into a different directory (.../caja/extensions-3.0?).

"Files" should be changed to "the file manager" rather than "Caja" since
the name is still Files in Ubuntu (Unity and GNOME). Unless someone
particularly motivated wants to fork Déjà-Dup to make a MATE version
that specifically says "Caja".

Yes, this is well-known. The Debian and Ubuntu versions of ttf-

no matter their respective version numbers, because of how differently
they download the fonts. See bug 1607535.

[Bug 1655565] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails to download fonts

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Sigh. Your first two downloads worked though, the third one failed. You
should report this on bug 1651923, Julian Klode might be able to help.
The error message you get now, "Protocol http not supported or disabled
in libcurl", is symptomatic of the same bug 1607535/1651923 I suggested
as a duplicate, just like the error "404 Not Found". The error message
depends on the contacted mirror.

In particular, see Elvis Stansvik's comment 25 in bug 1651923: he got
the same error message as you from the vorboss.dl.sourceforge.net mirror
even after he upgraded apt-transport-https to 1.2.19.

You can use apt-helper for tests instead of reinstalling ttf-
mscorefonts-installer over and over again (line breaks for readability
only):

$ /usr/lib/apt/apt-helper
[-o debug::acquire::https=1 -o debug::acquire::http=1]
download-file
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe test.exe
OR
"https://people.debian.org/~jak/a b/c" test.exe

The optional part is for debug output.

Thanks for the additional information. Even though normal installs have
the package already, I personally feel that the apt-transport-https
dependency should be added, be it only for consistency's sake. But I am
not the package maintainer and I can't help further, sorry. Perhaps ping
them directly if they don't weight in.

This is probably an Ubuntu-only bug since the Debian package downloads
the fonts with wget instead of update-notifier and apt-helper.

You're right indeed, your issue is likely different from bug 1607535,
but once you install apt-transport-https you should run into bug
1607535.

That package is normally installed as a Recommends of ubuntu-standard:
did you install your system without Recommends?

Going through the comments of bug 1651923's duplicates (a lot of them
are wrongly marked IMHO), it appears downloads.sourceforge.net was
already redirecting to HTTPS urls on 2016-11-24 (if not before, but I
couldn't find evidence of it). You're having that issue since 2017-01-12
only: was it when you first tried installing this package?

More likely to be a manifestation of bug 1607535, fixed in the

Please check those bugs, try and install manually with "sudo apt-get

reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer" depending on whether the package
is installed or not on your system, compare error messages, and add

[Bug 1652410] Re: Undescriptive duplicity/collection-status error when the backup directory contains two volumes with different file names and same volume number in the same backup set

[Nathanaël Naeri]

The file and function I examined are those mentioned in the traceback
reported by David for Ubuntu 16.04, deja-dup 34.2-0ubuntu1.1, duplicity
0.7.06-2ubuntu2:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/collections.py",
  line 105, in add_filename
(self.volume_name_dict, filename)
  AssertionError: ({1: 'duplicity-full.20161129T015237Z.vol1.difftar'},
'duplicity-full.20161129T015237Z.vol1.difftar.gz')

For Ubuntu 14.04, deja-dup 30.0-0ubuntu4.1, duplicity 0.6.23-1ubuntu4.1:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/collections.py",
  line 100, in add_filename
(self.volume_name_dict, filename)
  AssertionError: ({1: 'duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.vol1.difftar'},
'duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.vol1.difftar.gz')

Function add_filename(self, filename) parses the examined filename (in
this case "duplicity-full.$timestring.vol1.difftar.gz") and decides if
it should be added to the examined backup set (self, an instance of the
BackupSet class, consisting for now of just one backup volume,
"duplicity-full.$timestring.vol1.difftar").

The function returns True if it adds the examined filename to the
current backup set, False if it rejects it, for instance it rejects
files whose parse results don't include "full" or "inc", and files whose
parse results indicate a different timestring than the timestring of the
current backup set.

The assertion that fails is "not
self.volume_name_dict.has_key(pr.volume_number)", meaning that the
volume number found in the parse results (in our case 1) is already in
the backup set (stored as a volumenumber/filename dictionnary: {1:
duplicity-full.$timestring.vol1.difftar}).

A quick way to avoid that bug would be to turn the assertion into an "if
volume-number already in backup-set, reject filename" (i.e. return
False), which means that when encountering two or more of:

  duplicity-$type.$timestring.vol$n.difftar
  duplicity-$type.$timestring.vol$n.difftar.gz
  duplicity-$type.$timestring.vol$n.difftar.gpg

duplicity would accept into the backup set the first filename it
processes, and reject the others.

A probably better way would be to also compare compression flags when
grouping the files into sets, in addition to backup type (full/inc) and
times. That way an uncompressed file couldn't be added to a backup set
made up of compressed files, and vice versa. In the simplest case, this
would require:

  adding the attribute self.compressed to the class BackupSet

  adding self.compressed = bool(pr.compressed) to the method
  BackupSet.set_info, that initializes the attributes of the
  class instances

  adding something like
if bool(pr.compressed) != bool(self.compressed):
return False
  to BackupSet.add_filename after it tests for backup type
  and backup times

But then it gets complicated by the fact that a backup set can be
partially encrypted, if I understand correctly the rest of the
add_filename function ("if bool(pr.encrypted) !=
bool(self.encrypted)..."). So perhaps the function should also
accommodate backup sets which are partially compressed? Also, assuming
the add_filename is changed to group files into sets of homogeneous
compression/encryption status, then how would the function that groups
sets into chains have to be modified?

I don't know duplicity's source code well enough, and won't any time
soon, to take a decision regarding this issue and fix it by myself,
sorry.

[Bug 1652410] Re: Undescriptive duplicity/collection-status error when the backup directory contains two volumes with different file names and same volume number in the same backup set

[Nathanaël Naeri]

I have also replicated the bug, on Ubuntu 14.04 deja-dup 30.0 duplicity
0.6.23 (haven't got a more recent version yet but David has), as a
newly-created user with the default Déjà-Dup settings:

1. Perform the first full backup and check that the backup, the file
signatures, and the manifest file have been successfully created:

$ ls -l ~/deja-dup
-rw--- 1 luke luke   171 Jan 16 00:51 
duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.manifest
-rw--- 1 luke luke 48989 Jan 16 00:51 
duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.vol1.difftar.gz
-rw--- 1 luke luke  9965 Jan 16 00:51 
duplicity-full-signatures.20170115T235149Z.sigtar.gz

2. Uncompress the backup volume:

$ gunzip --to-stdout duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.vol1.difftar.gz >
duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.vol1.difftar

$ ls -l ~/deja-dup
-rw--- 1 luke luke171 Jan 16 00:51 
duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.manifest
-rw-rw-r-- 1 luke luke 480256 Jan 16 00:57 
duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.vol1.difftar
-rw--- 1 luke luke  48989 Jan 16 00:51 
duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.vol1.difftar.gz
-rw--- 1 luke luke   9965 Jan 16 00:51 
duplicity-full-signatures.20170115T235149Z.sigtar.gz

3. Start the first incremental backup and witness the assertion error in
duplicity that David reported:

$ deja-dup --backup
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1494, in

'duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.vol1.difftar.gz')

$ DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup > deja-dup.log1
# see attached file for details

4. Interestingly, duplicity already has checks to avoid considering
files whose names don't look like they could be part of a backup set, as
proven by the success and log file of the following incremental backup:

$ ls -l ~/deja-dup
-rw-rw-r-- 1 luke luke 0 Jan 16 01:08 assignment.odt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 luke luke 0 Jan 16 01:08 creative-writing-syllabus.pdf
-rw-rw-r-- 1 luke luke 0 Jan 16 01:08 duplicity-commandline-memo.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 luke luke 0 Jan 16 01:08 duplicity-full-1995-movie.mkv.vol1.rar
-rw--- 1 luke luke   171 Jan 16 00:51 
duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.manifest
-rw--- 1 luke luke 48989 Jan 16 00:51 
duplicity-full.20170115T235149Z.vol1.difftar.gz
-rw--- 1 luke luke  9965 Jan 16 00:51 
duplicity-full-signatures.20170115T235149Z.sigtar.gz

$ DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup > deja-dup.log2
# see attached file for details (truncated to the interesting bits)

So there's no need to come up with a brand-new extensive filename
filter, it's already here, only improve it so it doesn't burp so hard
when a backup volume is present in both compressed and uncompressed
forms.

On further investigation, unfortunately, I realize it is not a file list
that Déjà-Dup passes to duplicity collection-status, but the path/URL of
the backup repository, e.g.:

  duplicity collection-status [options] file://home/luke/deja-dup

This is what duplicity expects for this action, according to the man
page. So it might be trickier than I thought to have duplicity not
examine certain files, and perhaps this bug would be better solved on
duplicity's side than on Déjà-Dup's side.

Worst case, if the bug can't be fixed and the situation requires a human
to examine the contents of the backup repository to take adequate
action, then duplicity should return a more descriptive message than the
current terse assertion error.

>> You apparently performed a full backup on 2016-11-29 at 01:52 UTC,
>> did everything work fine during this backup? Was it successful ?
> Don't think so

Don't think so either, because your full backup on that date is only one
volume long and that volume is 120 bytes long:

  ls -l /home/david/Dropbox/Backups
  [...]
  ... 120 Nov 28 17:52 duplicity-full.20161129T015237Z.vol1.difftar.gz
  [...]

FYI duplicity makes backups into sets of normally 25 MB volumes.

And then there's your first incremental backup on Dec 1 which doesn't
look good since there are only volumes 2, 7, 15, 16, 23, 41, 49 of that
backup set in your backup repository. Where are all the other ones? Did
Dropbox eat them? And the normally-accompanying signatures and manifest
files are nowhere to be found either.

I don't know if Déjà-Dup can recover from this situation and finish the
partial incremental backup set but I wouldn't even lose time trying to
be honest. I've always found the easiest way to recover from a severely
failed backup is to delete the failed part (everything in your case) and
start again. For good measure you can also delete the backup's cache
directory:

  rm -r /home/david/Dropbox/Backups
  rm -r /home/david/.cache/deja-dup/f00ff76508010e2a830dd26b1d39db42

When you try again, you may want to test backing up a small subset of
your documents instead of your whole user directory. That way you'll
know quickly if it works or fails again. If it works, you can delete
this test backup and start again with the whole thing.

[Bug 1652410] Re: duja-dup AssertionError: ({1: 'duplicity-full.20161129T015237Z.vol1.difftar'}

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Thanks for the information. First of all, as reported by the log file
you sent and the listing of your backup directory, there is an
uncompressed backup volume in your volume directory, and an uncompressed
file of files signatures, created or last modified on Dec 22:

  duplicity-full.20161129T015237Z.vol1.difftar
  duplicity-full-signatures.20161129T015237Z.sigtar

along with their older compressed versions, created on Nov 28:

  duplicity-full.20161129T015237Z.vol1.difftar.gz
  duplicity-full-signatures.20161129T015237Z.sigtar.gz

As far as I know there shouldn't be any such uncompressed files in the
backup location. Did you uncompress them yourself perhaps? In any case,
they're confusing duplicity (the command-line backup tool Déjà-Dup is a
graphical front-end to), if I understand the log file and error message
correctly:

  DUPLICITY: INFO 1

>From my understanding of the duplicity source code in the incriminated
file, this is what happens when happens Déjà-Dup launches the
collection-status action to have duplicity find out which backup chains
are in the backup repository: Déjà-Dup passes the list of files in this
directory to duplicity, which takes the uncompressed duplicity-
full.20161129T015237Z.vol1.difftar for the start of a backup set, then
tries to add the compressed duplicity-
full.20161129T015237Z.vol1.difftar.gz to this set, and fails because the
volume number of this file has already been added to the set. Otherwise
there would be two backup volumes with the same volume number in the
backup set, and duplicity can't guess which one to take into account.

To fix this bug from happening in the future, we could perhaps restrict
the file list that is passed from Déjà-Dup to duplicity collection-
status? Perhaps to *.{diff,sig}tar.{gz,gpg} and *.manifest files only,
or something like that?

Or perhaps it could be fixed in duplicity, by having duplicity prefer a
particular filename when there are two volumes with the same number in
the same backup set? But then which one and on what grounds?

Vej, your take on that?

In the meantime, David, I believe it's safe for you to delete those
extraneous uncompressed files (or move them outside of your backup
repository). The assertion error should no longer be triggered, but you
should bump into other errors, because your backup repository clearly
doesn't have a complete, well-formed backup chain. More on that later.

It's because you're using the fish shell instead of the more common bash
shell. If I understand correctly, the fish translation of Vej's command
is:

  env DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup | tail -n 1000 > /tmp/deja-

or:

[Bug 1607535] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts

[Nathanaël Naeri]

** Description changed:

- As noted in
- 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1371783/comments/45,
- the current 3.4 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer searches for the
- font files in an incorrect network location. The consequence of this is
- that the core fonts are never installed.
+ [Symptoms]
  
- The Debian (upstream) version 3.6 of ttf-mscorefonts-installer searches
- for the font files in the correct network location, and will
- successfully install the core fonts.
+ When installing or updating the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer in
+ Ubuntu 16.04 or 16.10, an error message appears in a GUI window,
+ indicating "failure to download extra data files" (the fonts themselves)
+ "after package installation" (the package itself appears to have been
+ installed). This error message re-appears regularly, as a cron-job re-
+ tries the failed download.
  
- This problem occurs with Ubuntu 16.04 as of July 2016. (And with earlier
- versions, including current LTS.)
+ If installing or updating from the command line, additional failure
+ information is given in an error message prefixed by "E:", but this
+ error message depends on the mirror server which is contacted for the
+ download: "404 Not Found" is common, but there is also "Protocol http
+ not supported or disabled in libcurl", and complains about invalid
+ Content-Range headers.
+ 
+ [Cause]
+ 
+ The current 3.4 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer in Ubuntu 16.04
+ delegates the download of the proprietary Microsoft Core Fonts for the
+ Web (Andale, Arial...) to the package update-notifier, which itself
+ delegates it to the program apt-helper provided by the package apt. The
+ download URL points to the host downloads.sourceforge.net, which
+ redirects to a randomly-chosen mirror server
+ .dl.sourceforge.net.
+ 
+ Unfortunately, the program apt-helper has a bug in the way it treats
+ redirections. This bug makes apt-helper keep a space in the URL instead
+ of encoding it to %20 before contacting the mirror. It is more
+ extensively documented in bug 1655431 and bug 1651923. The mirror
+ replies to this malformed request with an error message (e.g. "404 Not
+ Found"), and download fails.
+ 
+ Some mirrors appear to understand the malformed request nonetheless, and
+ send the requested font file, however since there are 11 fonts to
+ download, the chances of getting 11 understanding mirrors are low. Hence
+ why the error message usually concerns andale32.exe or arial32.exe
+ instead of webdin32.exe.
+ 
+ [Workaround 1]
+ 
+ Download the fonts manually and put them all in the same directory. You
+ can use wget for that, because contrary to apt-helper, it handles
+ redirections fine (command line formatted for readability, do not
+ include line breaks and line indents):
+ 
+   $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/
+   {andale32.exe,arial32.exe,arialb32.exe,comic32.exe,courie32.exe,
+   georgi32.exe,impact32.exe,times32.exe,trebuc32.exe,verdan32.exe,
+   webdin32.exe}
+ 
+ Or you can use your browser: point it to
+ https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final and
+ download the same files.
+ 
+ Make sure the package is purged and no remaining setup triggers are
+ remaining, using your favorite package manager or command-line APT:
+ 
+   $ sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
+ 
+ Then reinstall the package, this time pointing to the previously-
+ downloaded fonts in a second step:
+ 
+   $ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
+ # (this will most likely fail again)
+   $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer
+ 
+ The second command should return a "graphical" interface in the
+ terminal. Use it to point to the directory where you downloaded the
+ fonts (/path/to/directory/containing/the/fonts). Make sure no .deb files
+ are in this directory, they seem to be picked up too and then it fails.
+ 
+ If a pop-up shows up for a post-install action later, just let it run,
+ it shouldn't come back. It may triggered by the file /var/lib/update-
+ notifier/user.d/data-downloads-failed and you may be successful in
+ avoiding the regularly-reappearing message by removing this file. But
+ this point is less clear.
+ 
+ Once everything is working, you can delete the downloaded fonts in .exe
+ format, they have been uncompressed and installed in
+ /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts in .ttf format.
+ 
+ Adapted from: Vincent Gerris (comment 17), Lesley Binks (comment 18).
+ 
+ [Workaround 2]
+ 
+ Remove Ubuntu's version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer and install
+ Debian's version instead. Indeed, Debian's version uses wget to download
+ the fonts, and contrary to apt-helper, wget handles redirections fine.
+ 
+ Download the package from https://packages.debian.org/ttf-mscorefonts-

Robin, comment 63:

As a matter of fact, even Debian's version 3.4 works. It works because
it uses wget to download the fonts, while Ubuntu's version of the
package uses apt-helper, which has a bug, see comments 50 52 by Adrien
Beau, and the bug 1655431 he links to, which points to the root cause in
bug 1651923.

So it's not a case of "version 3.4 is broken, version 3.6 fixes the
problem" but a case of "Ubuntu versions of the package are broken,
Debian versions of the package work".

I do not know why the Ubuntu package was modified in the first place,
rather than simply copied from Debian (and I personally wish there were
less delta between the two distributions, to avoid these Ubuntu-only
bugs). Perhaps we can find out the reasons in the changelog for the
Ubuntu package.

> An update to the existing 3.6 code would
> provide a clean solution

Yes and no. On the one hand, using Debian's 3.6 package as-is certainly
works, as mentionned in this thread.

But the Ubuntu package cannot be updated to pure Debian 3.6 without
losing the Ubuntu-specific changes. So the changes made in Debian
between 3.4 and 3.6 should instead be merged to the Ubuntu package, for
it to benefit from both the features of the new version and the Ubuntu-
specific changes.

Since one of these Ubuntu-specific changes is using apt-helper instead
of wget, the bug would remain.

It affects me too.

Someone is: Julian Klode, see bug 1651923, of which this bug is a
duplicate (although I am going to temporarily remove duplicate status,
see this bug, comments 56 57).

Julian has already released a fix, available in Ubuntu's upcoming 17.04
release, as is the correct procedure. Fixes aren't released directly to
production releases, they are first tested in the development release,
in case they don't work or cause new bugs.

If you can use the development release, please test this package and
report in bug 1651923. Feedback will be appreciated and will help the
fix to be backported to the production releases.

> (As a point of information, this bug also appears with 14.04.)

Crap. I was quite sure it was specific to 16.06 and 16.10. Can you give
more details? In bug 1651923, bottom of comment 24, Julian Klode
mentions that there is a different issue with the downloads on Trusty
(14.04). Can you confirm whether you are running into this different
issue (download hangs) or the issue discussed in this bug (download
fails)?

Jeremy, comment 59:

It would be 3.4+nmu1ubuntu3 I believe. But there will be no new version
of this package to fix this bug, as it has to be fixed in another
package (apt), not in this package (ttf-mscorefonts-installer).

cbcymru, comment 60:

Only if there is a security vulnerability in Debian's v3.6 ttf-
mscorefonts-installer, and only if it is found...

I was just wondering about that and it seems as trivial as using dpkg
with the "purge" action (-P, --purge) instead of the "install" action
(-i, --install):

  $ dpkg -P /path/to/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb

And then you'd install the Ubuntu package. Running what Jeremy proposes
in comment 61 would also install the Ubuntu package but without
uninstalling the Debian package before, and given that these packages
have differences, I'd rather be on the safe side and run whatever pre-
removal and post-removal scripts are included in the Debian package.

cbcymru, comment 62:

> If you should discover how to stop the install prompt before
> the fix is found, please post the details.

Lesley Binks in comment 18 suggests removing the file:

  /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/data-downloads-failed

which he says triggers the message. Unfortunately he hasn't reported yet
if it works and is safe. Also, note that this is in the context of
Vincent Gerris's workaround in comment 17, not in the context of using
Debian's version 3.6.

Obviously, if you don't need Microsoft's Core Fonts, you may just
uninstall the package.

Is there a way to list this bug in the bug list of msttcorefonts without

If not, can we temporarily remove duplicate status?

Removing the "...and should be updated to version 3.6 from Debian" part
of the bug title to reflect that the fix isn't in version 3.6 per se
(but in package apt, as explained in bug 1651923). Version 3.6 only
works around this bug by using wget instead of apt-helper to download
the fonts, it doesn't fix it. And should Ubuntu's package be merged with
Debian's, the bug would stay because usage of apt-helper would be kept
in the Ubuntu package.

That said a merge would still be nice, for reasons exposed in bug
1656102 and duplicates.

Further investigation indicates that this bug is indeed a duplicate of
bug 1607535, although the error message is different (because the
contacted mirror server is different, see bug 1655431).

The root cause for this bug (and several others) is in the program apt-
helper from package apt, which handles the download of the fonts. It is
explored in bug 1651923 (see also bug 1655431), which is being fixed for
zesty, hopefully yakkety and xenial will follow.

NOT the same error message as in bug 1607535 ("http disabled in libcurl"
vs. "404 not found") BUT a few users have seen this message too in bug
1607535 so both bugs MIGHT have the same cause (SourceForge servers are
unreliable and not adapted to headless downloads).

As with bug 1607535, you might have success working around this bug by
purging Ubuntu's 3.4 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer and installing
Debian's 3.6 version instead. Please consult bug 1607535, test, and

[Bug 1596027] Re: No hardware acceleration for H264 decoding of Flash videos on Chromium with Pepper Flash plugin

[Nathanaël Naeri]

You shouldn't compare the PPAPI plugin and the NPAPI plugin. They are
not exactly the same. This was obvious in the past when the NPAPI plugin
was frozen at version 11.2, but it is still true now even though both
plugins are version 24.0 (since Dec 13).

In particular, the new 24.0 NPAPI plugin is a security initiative that
does not include certain features implemented in the PPAPI version, most
notably GPU acceleration of 3D graphics and support of videos with DRM
[1]. This new 24.0 NPAPI plugin is shipped by the adobe-flashplugin
package, version 20161213, that you are using. Perhaps GPU acceleration
of H.264 videos is not supported either? Although that is surprising,
that fits your experience of hardware acceleration stopping working
recently.

In any case, it's the PPAPI plugin in Chromium and the PPAPI plugin in
Firefox (through the PPAPI-to-NPAPI wrapper, browser-plugin-freshplayer-
pepperflash) that you should compare. If you do, please consider
installing the wrapper from ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 [2] or
ppa:jonathonf/pepperflashplugin-nonfree [3] instead of the one available
in Xenial's official archive [4], as this version is already old and
hasn't benefited yet of several bug fixes (e.g. bug 1633678).

Also make sure that hardware accelerated decoding is enabled by the
wrapper [5]: switch enable_hwdec to 1 in the wrapper's configuration
file, and check that enable_vaapi and enable_vdpau are also set to 1 so
that hardware accelerated decoding uses VA-API/VDPAU.

[Bug 1651396] Re: Backup fails every time after one incremental file is possibly corrupted

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Thanks for this log. It shows that your current backup chain started on
Oct 10, contains the offending incremental backup (Dec 19 to Dec 20),
and has later incremental backups (three more on Dec 20, one on Dec 21,
one on Dec 22, one on Dec 30). You can see for yourself under "primary
backup chain" (you also have 9 older backup chains).

So your backups are apparently still performed, despite the error
message (!?!).

As far as I understand, the SHA1 hash mismatch means that the indicated
file (first volume of Dec 19 to Dec 20 incremental backup) is different
from when it was created and its SHA1 hash was written in the
accompanying .manifest file (a text file that stores the hashes of each
volume at creation time). Is it conceivable that the transfer of this
file to your backup location failed somehow? Or that it was modified
afterwards?

I think the easiest way for you to get rid of this issue is to delete
(or rather, move away) the tail of your current backup chain, starting
at the offending file, and launch an incremental backup to cover the Dec
19 to today period.

That won't tell us how this file got corrupted however, but I for one am
not able to help further.

You may also want to delete (or rather move away) Déjà-Dup's cache
directory (~/.cache/deja-dup) in case something weird creeped into it
and is causing a problem. It will be recreated with fresh information
downloaded from the backup location (manifest and signature files).

[Bug 1596027] Re: No hardware acceleration for H264 Decoding in Pepper Flash Plugin

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Flash with Chromium-based browsers is out of my knowledge, sorry.

A quick Google search shows that apparently, at least a few years ago,
Chromium/Chrome used to disable hardware acceleration for certain
graphic cards. Knowing the limited capabilities of the AMD/ATI Radeon HD
6310 (an APU-integrated graphic card that equipped my dad's early 2010s
mini-desktop computer), perhaps hardware acceleration is indeed disabled
for this card. In which case, it might be forced, and perhaps the
following (dated) links can still help:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/325431/hardware-acceleration-of-chromes-flash-plugin
http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/enable-hardware-acceleration-in-chrome.html

You should also install a Mozilla-based browser (and the PPAPI/NPAPI
wrapper browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash), enable hardware
accelerated decoding (see comment 1), and see if you can reproduce this
issue (no hardware accelerated H.264 in Flash videos). This would help
find out whether it's the browser's fault or the plugin's fault (cause
I'm not sure this bug should be filed against the plugin).

[Bug 1651396] Re: Backup fails every time after one incremental file is possibly corrupted

[Nathanaël Naeri]

To create a new full backup, simply backup to a new location, or move
the files in the current location to some other place. Déjà Dup will
detect the absence of previous backups and start a new full backup.

The backup location is the directory that stores the duplicity files
that Déjà Dup produces (compressed and possibly encrypted
duplicity-... files). For
instance ftp://user@server:port/path/to/backup/location.

You may also want to run the incremental backup that fails, from the
command line, with verbose output, to try and understand what leads to
that failure, and help triage this bug, because right now we
unfortunately don't know enough to reproduce or fix it:

  $ DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup

As Aaron said Déjà Dup is a good balance between ease of use and
reliability. Since it is a front-end to duplicity, I would recommend
using duplicity directly for more reliability (see manpage for usage).
You would then avoid all the potential front-end bugs.

[Nathanaël Naeri]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1632870 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632870

pepperflashplugin-nonfree is well-known to be broken since Google
stopped shipping the PPAPI Flash plugin with Chrome 54: see e.g. bug
1632870. The package has not been fixed yet. Besides, if it worked, it
would install PPAPI Flash version 23.0, not the NPAPI Flash version 11.2
that is inexplicably detected by chrome://plugins in your case (I
thought Chromium only supported PPAPI plugins?).

If you want an up-to-date version of pepperflashplugin-nonfree
specifically, try the one in Jonathon Fernyhough's PPA, it's fixed
(https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/pepperflashplugin-
nonfree).

The recommended way to install the NPAPI and PPAPI Flash plugins is
through the adobe-flashplugin package though, which is in Canonical's
Partner repository (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash).
Enable this repository, remove ALL other Flash-providing packages
(pepflashplugin-nonfree, flashplugin-installer, pepperflashplugin-
nonfree...), and install adobe-flashplugin.

[Bug 1632870] Re: Package is broken since Google stopped shipping Flash with Chrome 54 for Linux

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Yes, I contacted Daniel a few weeks ago to let him know about the
Chrome/Flash unbundling and suggest he downloads from Adobe or retires
his PPA. Since there is now a variety of ways to get the NPAPI/PPAPI
Flash plugin, he decided to retire his PPA, and I updated my Flash memo
to stop mentioning it. I remember there used to be a time around Ubuntu
Precise where his pepflashplugin-nonfree was the sole packaged way to
install the PPAPI plugin for other browsers than Chrome. Let him be
thanked for this pioneer work.

Regarding the pepperflashplugin-nonfree package in the Ubuntu archive, I
am in favor of proposing to drop it from the archive in zesty (I believe
you mean zesty). As it stands now, this package will stay broken until
the original Debian maintainer fixes it, and there hasn't been a sign on
debbugs 833741 and 841373 that this will happen soon. And even if it
does, this package offers no advantage over the adobe-flashplugin
package in partner, besides being in multiverse rather than in partner.
Unless that last point is crucial, I vote for proposing to drop the
package.

BTW, was there ever a consensus in favor or against enabling partner at
install time, when you contacted the ubuntu-devel list?

The link you provided (http://askubuntu.com/q/787244/25388) shows you
solved the dependency problem (it's indeed a matter of installing deja-
dup AND deja-dup-backend-gvfs), so I'm closing this bug. See also bugs
1606449 and 1641423 for more about this dependency issue.

The other problem you mention in that AskUbuntu question is related to
permissions on a NTFS volume mounted as root, if I understand correctly.
This is unrelated to the dependency issue and this bug report. Also,
Déjà Dup is supposed to be used by a normal user to back up their own
user data to a location that is writable by that user. There are better
tools for root to back up a complete disk or several users' data. This
is not the focus of Déjà Dup.

I understand why the Conflicts can't be added. I can think of one last
way of fixing this inconvenience in published releases: make
pepperflashplugin-nonfree a metapackage Depending on adobe-flashplugin
(assuming this is possible since the later is in Canonical Partner).
This would transparently substitute the former with the later.

Agreed. Looking forward to your work making its way into the published

Unless Canonical Partner can't be enabled for new desktop installations,

Doesn't affect Ubuntu. Package libhal1-flash still suggests, not depends
on, flashplugin-nonfree.

[Bug 1633842] Re: Install in Ubuntu 16.10: error the public key is not available

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Glad this solves your problem. I suspected the browser looked in certain
directories, the problem being to find out which ones.

You should report to Yandex support, if you can, that their browser
should also look for the PPAPI Flash plugin in /usr/lib/adobe-
flashplugin/ as it is now its official location in Ubuntu (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash) (/usr/lib/PepperFlash/
is for Slackware and /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree for Debian and
previously Ubuntu).

Beware that you'll have to update the plugin manually from time to time
by repeating the steps 1 and 2 Yandex support told you. If you'd like
the PPAPI Flash plugin to update with the rest of your packages, I
suppose you could do that instead:

1. Get the plugin from package adobe-flashplugin in the partner
repository (NOT pepperflashplugin-nonfree, it is currently broken, bug
1632870). The plugin is the same as the one you extract from the tar.gz
archive from Adobe's website, and is updated regularly:

sudo apt-get purge pepperflashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

2. Symlink to the plugin from either one of the directories Yandex
support told you about:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so 
/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
or
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so 
/usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/libpepflashplayer.so

Closing this bug, feel free to reopen if necessary.

[Bug 1632870] Re: Package is broken since Google stopped shipping Flash with Chrome 54 for Linux

[Nathanaël Naeri]

I read the ubuntu-devel thread and agree with everything you said.
Thanks for trying to solve that issue at installation level.

As a side note about that thread: AFAIK, flashplugin-installer (NPAPI
11.2, src:flashplugin-nonfree) comes from Debian too, just like
pepperflashplugin-nonfree (PPAPI, src:pepperflashplugin-nonfree), and
they have the same Debian maintainer (Bart Martens), and the same update
mechanism on Debian (sudo update-update-[pepper]flashplugin-nonfree
--install).

https://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer
https://wiki.debian.org/PepperFlashPlayer

So that's all the more surprising that the first one has been heavily
modified for Ubuntu (plugin actually downloaded from partner behind the
scene, and package version bumped with Flash updates) while the second
one hasn't (only small details if I understand the changelog correctly).

In case that helps now or in the future: I have some notes about Flash
plugins and wrapper that I read and update everytime I have to setup a
new computer (which happens quite frequently). Without this memo I'd be
lost in the maze of similarly-named Flash packages:

[Bug 1633842] Re: Install in Ubuntu 16.10: error the public key is not available

[Nathanaël Naeri]

I'm trying to install Yandex Browser to have a look, but I can't find
the specific version you're using (16.10.0.2260 beta 64-bit), only the
current stable (16.10.1.545-1 64-bit). Can you point me to the source
for your version, or perhaps better, update yours to the current stable
which seems to be slightly ahead?

Also I suppose you've seen the following resource:
  https://yandex.com/support/yabrowser/feedback/flash-music-games.xml
Is there a version of Flash reported in browser://plugins? Did you check that 
you're not in Turbo mode? That Flash banners and videos aren't blocked?

> libpepflashplayer.so -didn't help. Browser doesn't find this plugin
Where did you put it?

I thought so too, but now I'm not sure it's that much of a problem, as
long as a fallback is in place. Take ubuntu-restricted-addons for
instance, which is installed with a new copy of Ubuntu when the option
about non-free software is selected: it recommends adobe-flashplugin |
flashplugin-installer for i386 architectures (and, weirdly enough, only
flashplugin-installer for amd64 architectures) (flashplugin-installer is
the one that only installs the NPAPI plugin, adobe-flashplugin is the
one in partner with NPAPI and PPAPI).

This nice approach is also implemented in Jonathon Fernyhough's version
of pepperflashplugin-nonfree. His version also downloads the plugin from
Adobe instead of Chrome, so it should have survived Google's
unbundling's decision. (I haven't tested it though, I use adobe-
flashplugin.)

https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/pepperflashplugin-

Gunnar:

I agree that the PPAPI/NPAPI wrapper shouldn't be retired given that a
few features present in the existing PPAPI version won't be fully
implemented in the future NPAPI version. Besides, Adobe could change
their mind again regarding NPAPI support.

Yes I'm pretty sure they are preserved by the PPAPI-to-NPAPI translation
process: the wrapper's configuration file has a "enable_3d = 1" option
that probably refers to the support of GPU 3D acceleration, and its
Known Issues page mentions how DRM support is only provided by Chrome
OS's PPAPI plugin, not by the desktop PPAPI plugins.

[Bug 1633678] Re: Compability issue with adobe-flashplugin

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Thanks for taking care of this bug Gunnar.

Unfortunately I can't test your packages since I still use Trusty for
the time being. I did at least compare the contents of your Xenial build
against the one available in multiverse and the one in Andrei Alin's
PPA. It looks good to me and should fix the two grievances reported here
(the dependency and the alternative).

You should be the official maintainer for the Ubuntu version of that
package, since there isn't any.

One point of detail: it looks like you made your Xenial package from the
Debian or Alin one and your Yakkety/Zesty packages from the Ubuntu ones.
This shows in the Maintainer and Original-Maintainer fields of
d/control, but that's the only difference AFAICT.

[Bug 1311237] Re: Pepper Flash needs to be backported to 12.04

[Nathanaël Naeri]

The preferred source for Flash is now adobe-flashplugin from partner,
not pepperflashplugin-nonfree from multiverse. It has been so for all
supported releases of Ubuntu, including Precise, since 2015-05.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin

There is therefore no need to backport pepperflashplugin-nonfree to
Precise anymore (which was never done), or to use external repositories
(I used to use ppa:skunk/pepper-flash as my source for Pepper Flash
plugin when I was using Precise before 2015-05). Closing the bug.

[Nathanaël Naeri]

If using the Pepper Flash plugin from e.g. adobe-flashplugin through the
PPAPI/NPAPI wrapper from browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash in a
Mozilla-based browser: hardware accelerated decoding is disabled by
default, you can switch it on in ~/.config/freshwrapper.conf
(enable_hwdec = 1, enable_vaapi = 1, enable_vdpau = 1). See
https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin/blob/master/data/freshwrapper.conf.example.

If using the Pepper Flash plugin from e.g. adobe-flashplugin in a
Chrome-based browser: no idea, sorry.

[Bug 1633842] Re: Install in Ubuntu 16.10: error the public key is not available

[Nathanaël Naeri]

Ah. Too bad.

Like I said you could try adobe-flashplugin instead of
pepperflashplugin-nonfree. Unfortunately it was confirmed non-working
for Yandex.Browser in Nov. 2015, but hopefully the situation has
improved. Good luck.

If that fails, an option is to download the Flash plugin
(libpepflashplayer.so) directly from Adobe and place it wherever
Yandex.Browser expects it to be. Certainly not ideal or a sustainable
solution, but at least you'll have Flash.
