Bug Description
My backup fails with this error:
Backup location is too small. Try using one with more space.
I've since tried to make more space, but I still get this error.
This error would be much more useful if it told me how much free space was required.
$ lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
$ dpkg-query -W deja-dup duplicity

In addition... why is it for the program to judge how much space is enough?
I'm backing up just over 5GB to a 20GB volume, which it refuses to use, despite clearly being enough.
