gnome-control-center crashed with SIGSEGV in deja_dup_config_widget_set_from_config()

[Eliah Kagan]

I updated and rebooted an Oneiric i386 system (gnome-control-center 1:3.0.2-1ubuntu4, deja-dup 19.2.1-0ubuntu1) into a unity-2d session, and after a short time, I was asked if I wanted to configure backup settings. I clicked yes (actually I don't remember the wording of the dialog box), and a window labeled Backup with blank white contents came up, then closed after several seconds, and I was informed that gnome-control-center crashed with SIGSEGV in deja_dup_config_widget_set_from_config().

Subsequently, when I manually went to System Settings and click on Backup (under System), I was able to view and change backup settings in detail, and no crash occurred.

Thanks for your report.

I got this crash also yesterday but it seems to happen only once. Next run of the deja-dup capplet don't exhibit this crash.
Setting to triage/medium (crash but only once)
