I tried the even newer package in Lucid 10.04 alpha 2 and it worked! I was able to restore my old backup again. Then I checked Karmic again and after deleting ".cache/deja-dup" it worked again too! (I really thought I tried this before)
I guess I damaged ".cache/deja-dup" when I tried to force deja-dup to connect through ftp. This still does not work nice in 10.04 alpha 2! After I changed the backup location to use ftp, I was no more able to restore single files. And after the third attempt nautilus crashed in Lucid (ok, it's alpha...). For me this bug is kind of solved. But deja-dup could try harder if it is no more able to restore files. E.g. it could try to delete and rebuild ".cache/deja-dup" on its own. Here are the versions in Lucid 10.04 alpha 2 I used: deja-dup (13.5-0ubuntu1) duplicity (0.6.06-2ubuntu1) librsync1 (0.9.7-7) python-boto (1.9b-1ubuntu2) -- deja-dup suddenly refuses to restore single files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
