Hi Vej,

That bug is similar, but I don't think it's a duplicate. In the bug from
five years ago, the request is to make the Unknown Error less
intimidating by doing things like hiding the traceback.

To be clear, this bug is not about the technical implementation of the
dialog box. What I was trying to request was a policy change: that the
dèjá dup project consider it a high priority problem that end users are
too often shown the dreaded Unknown Error.

As a mature project, dèjá dup should not need to fall back to debugging
info for common situations (e.g., backup directory not writable).
Perhaps a milestone for the next revision could be "review common causes
of Unknown Error and add error handling code to avoid it."

Thanks!
