Before you can start using deja-dup, you have to click Install... in the Backups window, for deja-dup to "first install some necessary software".

When I click the Install... button, I get this error message:

Could not install

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files

I desperately tried sudo apt-get -f install because I had no other idea, but it did not solve this.

Just some information about my machine:

I'm running ubuntu 16.04:

uname -srvio

Linux 4.10.0-42-generic #46~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 4 15:57:59 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux`

lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial

deja-dup --version

deja-dup 34.2

Thanks for any help!

You may need to manually install duplicity:

$ sudo apt-get install duplicity
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-gi

Then close and re-open the backup tool
