Won't start in Fedora 20 Alpha-4

[Neil Padgett]

I'm trying out Fedora 20 Alpha 4. When I start Back In Time, it appears briefly and than refuses to run. Fedora then produces an error message saying: "A problem in the backintime-gnome-1.0.28-1.fc20 package has been detected".

[Germar (germar)]

Please run 'backintime-gnome' from command line and post the output.

This is a dependencies problem of the current Fedora package. 'python-secretstorage' is missing in dependencies. As far as I know the package maintainer is aware of this and will post an updated package soon. Take a look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1014976#c7

Till then you can either install 'python-secretstorage' manually (don't know the correct name in Fedora and can't help with installing as I don't use Fedora) or you can use the patch I provided in Bug #1243911

OK. Thank you very much for your replies.
