Bug Description

This is a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 installation. I tried to open the backup software and configure backups, but backups can't be scheduled. The software asks to install something, but the install buttons are greyed out (see the attachment). Also a popup with the following message shows up:

Hello Eero.

This might be a duplicate of bug #1641423.

Can you please install duplicity and deja-dup-backend-gvfs to check if this solves the problem for you?

Thanks

Vej
