Hi y’all, I’m puzzled.
I use deja-dup to do a weekly backup of my home folder to Google Cloud Storage. It has been working until today. I get a ‘Backup Failed’ message with the message -
BackendException: Could not initialize backend: No module named cacerts
Internet search doesn’t have a match for this message.
I keep Leap updated.
Any clues for me?
I am only guessing here. I don’t use deja-dup.
You could try installing the package “ca-certificates-cacert”. That contains the security certificates for “cacert”. And perhaps that’s what is missing.
Thanks for the response. The backup routine has been working since the upgrade to Leap 15. I installed the package as you suggested, but … no joy.
Something changed, somewhere, this past week and broke defa-dup. Perhaps I should go back through the updates to see what changes might have caused this problem.
i had a similar issue, but with duplicity instead. i downgrade python2-boto from 2.49 to 2.48 and it started working again. hth
Yep, that’s what I found also. I figured out that the 2.49… package is missing the cacerts folder that the cloud services of duplicity requires.
(deja-dup is just a windowing front-end for duplicity.)
