Thank you for your willingness to live without your data for a while to
help debug this problem!

May I have the debug log created in /tmp/deja-dup.log by running the
following line in a Terminal?

DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --restore | tail -n 1000 > /tmp/deja-dup.log

Title:
  Backup cannot be restored on a fresh install

Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  0. Decided to reinstall Ubuntu 11.10 from scratch
  1. Created a fresh backup of my /home/username on an SSH server with deja-dup
  2. Reinstalled Ubuntu
  3. Ran a restore process from deja-dup (a very slick UI, thank you!)
  4. Entered SSH credentials, checked "save password" box
  5. deja-dup successfully connected to server and listed available backup
  6. Selected restore to original location
  7. After severla seconds of "Preparing..." deja-dup asked me for a password to elevate privileges (why? I'm only restoring my own home dir)
  8. The UI wizard immediately turned to a terminal page reporting an error: "Connection failed, please check your password: Login dialog cancelled". When running `deja-dup --restore` from terminal duplicity also reports exit code 38.

  Note: same thing happens when pointing explicitly to a home directory
  instead of original location at step 6.

  Expected result is obviously a flawless restoration of my original
  home dir in place.
