Hello,
Since this week, I have a problem with deja-dup, backup software, which
worked very well for about 2 years, with a weekly adjustment. I have not
changed anything yet about my system. I'm running with Xubuntu 16.04
installed since September 2016.

message: The backup failed, failed due to an unknown error.
and I have a whole long list posted here :

I tried to 'restore', I also deleted the last backup, but it did not change
anything.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled, but nothing helps.
Everything is ok in the update.
I do not understand the reason ...
Thank you for your answers if you see where is the problem.
