Hi folks,

Duplicity as a snap package will run just fine on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04).
You do not have to do anything other than install it, like so:

$ sudo snap install duplicity --classic

This will replace the old 0.7 series duplicity, which is EOL, with the
newer 0.8 series duplicity which is backwards compatible, as always.

Note: there are no PPAs supporting Xenial at this time.  Xenial is locked
to version 3.5 of Python and that is too old for the 0.8 series.  The snap
system is self-contained, so I could use a newer version that works with
duplicity.

...Thanks,
...Ken
