[Don Alex]

Package: deja-dup
Version: 38.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


Launching a scheduled back up or one manually fails with the warning:

Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PackageKit:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service
'org.freedesktop.PackageKit': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)


It has been 8 days since the last successful backup occurred.
