I discovered duplicity was not installed... After manually installing "duplicity", deja-dup still did not work (reporting error "BackendException") and I discovered I needed to manually install "python-gi" as well. Once these were installed, deja-dup began to work as expected. Listing the dependencies of deja-dup (34.2-0ubuntu1) in Ubuntu 16.04 gives the following: $ apt-cache depends deja-dup deja-dup Depends: libatk1.0-0 Depends: libc6 Depends: libdbusmenu-glib4 Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 Depends: libglib2.0-0 Depends: libgtk-3-0 Depends: libnautilus-extension1a Depends: libnotify4 Depends: libpackagekit-glib2-16 Depends: libpango-1.0-0 Depends: libpeas-1.0-0 Depends: libsecret-1-0 Depends: libunity-control-center1 Depends: libunity9 |Depends: dconf-gsettings-backend Depends: <gsettings-backend> dconf-gsettings-backend Depends: adwaita-icon-theme Recommends: policykit-1 policykit-1:i386 Suggests: deja-dup-backend-cloudfiles Suggests: deja-dup-backend-gvfs Suggests: deja-dup-backend-s3 Suggests: duplicity As one of the popular backends to deja-dup, it might be helpful to classify duplicity not as "suggests" but a "depends" package (even though its nice to see other backends are also supported). In addition, the deja-dup package should include the "python-gi" package as a "depends" as well.
