Bug Description

Please see the screenshot attached. When running a backup operation against a remote server with SSH, Deja Dup stops by saying "python-gi" package is required.

However, duplicity is updated with Python3 now, so it doesn't make sense to install Python 2 based package. The prerequisite check needs to be updated probably with python3-gi instead.

Hello everyone.

The Dependencies.txt states duplicity 0.8.04-2ubuntu1 which does indeed seem to be python3. So confirming on grounds of technical information given by the original reporter.

FWIW, "python-gi" is probably from:

debian/rules
====
override_dh_auto_configure:
        dh_auto_configure -- \
                          --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
                          -Dgvfs_pkgs=gvfs-backends,python-gi,gir1.2-glib-2.0 \
                          -Dboto_pkgs=python-boto \
                          -Dcloudfiles_pkgs=python-cloudfiles \
                          -Dswiftclient_pkgs=python-swiftclient

and it seems the definition of gvfs_pkgs is:

meson_options.txt
====
option('gvfs_pkgs', type: 'string', value: '', description: 'Distro package names to install giobackend duplicity support, separated by commas')
