make sure you have the package 'python devel' or similar installed. same goes for the packages 'librsync librsync-devel'.

..ede/duply.net

Found the packages and installed the missing ones, afterwards the installation worked, duplicity is to find in /usr/local/duplicity-0.6.21/duplicity-0.6.21/bin/duplicity.
Now I'am asking myselve, how to manage the wrapping for the new version. Duply and duplicity 0.6.18 are not installed in the user-context. So I find /usr/bin/duply, /var/lib/dpkg/info/duply.list, /usr/bin/duplicity + duplicity.01 + duplicity.org, a /usr/share/pyshared/duplicity-folder, a /usr/share/pyshared/duplicity-0.6.18.egg-info, a /usr/share/doc/duplicity folder, /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/duplicity and duplicity-files in /var/lib/dpkg/info.
What do I have to add/change to hack/make a duply or duplicity wrapping?

the "linking"/"hacking" is also explained under TIP on
 http://duply.net/?title=Duply-documentation

essentially you place wrapper scripts into your PATH. make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH env var and placed before other path entries. to find out how to modify the PATH env var for you linux permanently you can use the internet searchengine of your choice :)

My last question resulted from the explanation of the "linking"/"hacking" under TIP on
 http://duply.net/?title=Duply-documentation. It's still not made for a windows-professional and spare time linux user ;-) So I will have to search the web for handling environment in ubuntu.

it's no 'brain surgery' you will come around it. if you are a primary windows fellow imagine the wrapper script files as batch files, which themselves run the real binary.

but you don't really have to put duplicity in your path .. you can as well run it directly from anywhere e.g.

/usr/local/duplicity-<version>/bin/duplicity <parameters>...

should be enough for now to just try the other version.

I decided to invest in a linux book: 2 and a half kilos and 40 Euros - I hope, it will help :-)) - different to the linux courses I attended years ago: The important informations haven't been in.
