Comment 25 for bug 1770929

Hello,

I receive the same error on Kubuntu 18.04, so I purge both duplicity 0.7 and deja-dup and install the snap version of them, as instructed by Michael and Aaron. Nevertheless, I still get the same error when I run "snap run duplicity". Here's the output:

$ which duplicity
/snap/bin/duplicity

$ snap list | grep duplicity
duplicity 0.8.02 11 beta aaron-whitehouse classic

$ snap run duplicity
