[Freedombox-discuss] Problem restoring from remote backup.

[A. F. Cano]

thanks Sunil for the clarification about janus and how
not-available-anymore apps affect the restore operation.

I have tried repeatedly to complete the restore and it still doesn't
complete.  Earlier I said:

This is still the case.  Now I have not selected the missing apps (janus
and searx) and I've also not selected those that have no user data.  These
are the latest errors, the last line is "repository not found", which is
strange as I saw lots of traffic between the test freefombox and the
machine where the remote backups reside.  It also took a long time to
fail.

I also noticed another side-effect of the partial restore: the ssh key
got changed, probably because restoring everything (as I did at first)
restored all the configuration of ssh.  This is now undone with
ssh_keygen -f "~/.ssh/known_hosts" -R 10.42.0.1

Because of these latest errors, I can still not complete the restore
from the remote backup.  Any hints or anything that I might do to
pinpoint the cause of these errors would be welcome.
