Comment 11 for bug 1950056

Hello! I'm sorry Deja Dup isn't working for you tellupa.

Thanks Ken for trying to debug this so far - but based on what I'm seeing here, it's likely deja-dup's fault, not duplicity's.

The fact that the logs don't show an actual restore attempt makes me think Deja Dup is confusing itself before we even hand off to duplicity. The collection-status and list-current-files runs are both steps on the way to actually restoring.

I've got two suggestions:

1) Use duplicity directly. Based on the logs you provided, I'm guessing the following command would do it?

duplicity restore --no-encryption --file-to-restore=home/XXXX/Pictures/Family/Miller/John\ \&\ Anna/Sunday-meeting/picture.JPG file:///media/veracrypt1/dejadup-backup/Debuntu3Backup /tmp/picture.JPG

And hopefully the file is sitting at /tmp/picture.JPG

2) Update to the latest deja-dup. You can do this probably most easily by installing the snap version. Run:

snap install deja-dup --classic
sudo apt remove deja-dup

The reason this might help is that recent deja-dup versions have a browse & restore interface that might be easier than the command line and possibly there's a bug I fixed since the version you use?
