On LM uma live-session, I installed a few softwares via apt install
. When I tried to backup those packages using mintbackup
, I got an empty list saved in ~/Documents/Backups
and the following error on terminal:
Installer: User pkgcache is most recent, using it.
Installer: Error loading pkginfo cache: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 88930 column 13 (char 3305894)
/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintbackup/mintbackup.py:697: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Using positional arguments with the GObject constructor has been deprecated. Please specify keyword(s) for "schema" or use a class specific constructor. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject/InitializerDeprecations

Steps to reproduce:
- Install any app via
apt install
; for example,sudo apt install vlc
- Run
mintbackup
from terminal and select Backup packages option.
NB:
-
The same error occurs when I added the LM repo to Ubuntu Mate and installed
mintbackup
as well as in LM 20.1 -
The restore process works flawlessly.
