sftp/ssh backend : missing dependencie with python-paramiko

[Martin]

Ubuntu 15.04
duplicity 0.7.01

# duplicity list-current-files sftp://host
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1544, in <module>
    log.FatalError(u"%s: %s" % (e.__class__.__name__, util.uexc(e)),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity/util.py", line 78, in uexc
    return ufn(str(e))

# apt-get install python-paramiko

# duplicity list-current-files sftp://host
(works)

I had the same issue.

BackendException: Could not initialize backend: No module named paramiko

Tested in Ubuntu 16.04 via Windows Subsystem for Linux

Looks like the *.deb isn't including python-paramiko in it's dependancies

duplicity does not require all backends (over 20 at this point) be installed and details are provided in the README about what modules to load. I have put this into the Ubuntu camp to see if they want to expand the selections past what they supply.
