Yes, the suggested packages should not be made dependencies or recommended packages (for Python 2 reasons).
However the OP and comments raise the issue that as of now, on-demand installation of duplicity (or deja-dup-backend-gvfs) is only triggered when one opens the deja-dup-preferences GUI and clicks the button that says to install additional software. Other use cases, e.g. setting up Déjà Dup by using gsettings on the command line or by restoring a previous dconf database, are not covered and result in unfriendly error messages. That should be fixed (with a friendly error message). I think this bug report should be marked a duplicate of bug 1641423. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576394 Title: deja-dup package dependencies in 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1576394/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
