Uploading of backup to Ubuntu One fails with "400 Bad Request"

[Oliver Sauder]

This issue seems to be similar to Bug #1161599 as such is fixed in 13.10 however it seems it is only partially fixed.

Problem is when using deja-dup resp. duplicity to backup up a large amount of files to Ubuntu One. After a couple of minutes the backup aborts with "Giving up on request after 5 attempts, last status 400 Bad Request". Before the bad request appears network usage indicates full upload usage but after bad request appears nothing has been uploaded.

Here is the last line of the output of DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup > deja-dup.debug:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Given that Ubuntu One is now defunct, I think this bug can be marked as "wontfix".
