Since today I get the Déjà Dup error mentioned in the title. I'm aware that there are a lot of questions about this error. Sadly, the answers given there won't work for me because:

  • sudo apt-get install duplicity leads to

    duplicity is already the newest version (0.7.17-0ubuntu1.1)

  • sudo apt-get install python-gi leads to

    python-gi is already the newest version (3.26.1-2ubuntu1)

  • sudo apt-get install deja-dup-backend-gvfs leads to

    Unable to locate package deja-dup-backend-gvfs

Also sudo apt update with sudo apt upgrade, sudo apt dist-upgrade and sudo apt full-upgrade does not solve anything.

Therefore none of the previous thready could solve my problem. I would be pleased if someone could help me to fix that. I will provide you any information you need. 

$ which duplicity
/usr/bin/duplicity

$ duplicity --version 
/usr/bin/duplicity: /usr/bin/python2: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

    Yes, of course, you have to reinstall Python 2 by sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-minimal.

You have also try to reinstall these packages with duplicity executable by

sudo apt-get install --reinstall duplicity deja-dup

if their files were corrupted.

Your Python 2 installation is corrupted, you can get /usr/bin/python2 back by 

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-minimal
