Déjà Dup

"Could not understand duplicity version" when using the latest stable snap for deja-dup

Asked by Astronomy5292

I restored using the latest stable snap for duplicity (0.8.07) and stock deja-dup (34.2-0ubuntu1)
I attempted to restore using the latest stable snap for deja-dup (40.5)

This *failed* with the dreaded (and mostly misleading)

 "Could not understand duplicity version"

The only debug information I get is this:

$ DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --restore somedir
python3: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by python3)

I suspect a problem with the way the deja-dup is packaged as a snap.

Thoughts?

Oof yeah, seems that way. What distro and distro version are you on?

Ah, based on the deja-dup version you gave, you're on Ubuntu 16.04. Looking into this.

Hmm this has been autoclosed as expired, but I don't think it was waiting on information from me.
As your last comment implies, you have enough info to investigate.
