Bug Description
* Fresh install of Xenial
* Pre-existing home folder
* Backups already configured from previous installation
At the configured interval, a GUI pops up noting that deja-dup can't find duplicity.
I'm aware that duplicity is no longer part of the default install image from this page :

Installed duplicity at the command line. Ran into problem described in

Would be nice if the error dialogue in this case prompted you to install duplicity as the main wizard does when configuring backups. I presume the main wizard also installs python-gi.

It appears to install deja-dup- backend- gvfs, which installs duplicity and python-gi (and required dependencies), so as to enable backup to FTP, SSH, WebDAV, and Windows Shares.
I think that's the one we're supposed to install (from the wizard or the command line), rather than only duplicity.
