Package: deja-dup
Version: 44.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Installed Deja-Dup on a new installation of Debian 12.
After setting up backup location of Google Drive attempted to run first backup.
Received error stating that requires googleapi and PyDrive.
Able to install python3-googleapi from Debian 12 repository.
However, PyDrive is depreciated and not available in Debian 12 or any other version of debian.
python3-pydrive2 is availabe currently in sid (unstable) but not debian 12.
Without python-pydrive2 installed on system backup to google drive cannot function on debian 12, but this package is not available in debian 12. 

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Backup to google drive not possible due to dependency not available in Debian 12.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Backup failed. 

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Backup to be successful.
