Backend exception: No module named repository

[Sergey Amitonov]

First it returned "No module named gi.repository". After installation of python-gi it returns "No module named repository" when trying to make a backup.

Hello Sergey,

it seems that you might need to install "deja-dup-backend-gvfs".

Please open a Terminal make it as width as possible and show us the output of "dpkg -l deja-dup duplicity deja-dup-backend-gvfs", so we can see if you suffer from this problem.

Best Regards

Vej

I am also having the "No module named repository" issue when trying to make backups. Here is the output from my dpkg command:

dpkg -l deja-dup duplicity deja-dup-backend-gvfs

ii duplicity 0.7.10-0ubuntu0ppa1240~ubun amd64 encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup

I have used synaptic to do a re-install of these packages but it did not help.

Same story here:

ii deja-dup-backend-gvfs 34.2-0ubuntu1 all Remote server support for Déjà Dup
ii duplicity 0.7.06-2ubuntu2 amd64 encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup

as "deja-dup --backup" works well from the Terminal for me, I assume it might be something in Python pathes system-wide

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but the last time I launched Deja-Dup, an external USB disk drive was not online. I got a prompt that Deja-Dup was waiting for it to become ready. After I readied it, that is when I got the "No module named repository" error.

Running "deja-dup --backup" from a command line yields the same errors for me.

After the last deja-dup update I removed gi by
$ sudo pip uninstall gi
and it magically start to work.

[Wayne Jolly (xeddog)]

"sudo pip uninstall gi" got it working for me too.

Thanks,

Wayne

Hmm, ok. So this looks like a disconnect between the system and your local pip modules. I'm closing this? I could imagine we could do something smarter here. But that would maybe be on the duplicity side, which is where all the python is.
