Comment 3 for bug 1950056

OK, this is the wrong log file. It has 2 collection-status runs and 1
list-current-files, nothing about restore. I can't do anything with this
at all.

Did you update deja-dup at the same time? Try that.

Is the path to the file quoted? It should be if it contains spaces.

Can you run this without deja-dup, just as a duplicity command?
