I did some further tests with actual versions of deja-dup and found out, that the following restores does not work (I'm trying to restore a file named `dortö`, that is located in `Schreibtisch/tröstfolder` (''Schreibtisch'' means ''Desktop'', and ''tröstfolder'' is just some folder with an ö inside) :
Reproduction Steps: 0. Install your Ubuntu in german. 1. Create the folder Schreibtisch/tröstfolder and the file Schreibtisch/tröstfolder/dortö 2. Perform a fresh Backup to an empty folder (use encryption by setting a password). 3. Delete the file. 4. Try out the following commands: {{{LC_ALL=C deja-dup --restore ~/Schreiptich/tröstfolder/dortö}} and {{{LC_ALL=C deja-dup --restore ~/Schreiptich/tröstfolder/dortö}} work as expected. {{{LC_ALL=C deja-dup --restore-missing tröstfolder/}} and {{{deja-dup --restore-missing tröstfolder/da}} result in empty lists of files. I decrypted the backup using `gpg --multifile --decrypt duplicity- full.*.*.difftar.gpg` and unpacked the files manually using `for t in duplicity-full.20110127T131352Z.*.difftar; do tar xf $t; done` (see [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DejaDup/Help/Restore/WorstCase| "When Everything Goes Wrong" in Gnome Wiki ]]). `dortö` was inside of the folder `snapshot/home/test/Schreibtisch/tröstfolder`. Versions: deja-dup `30.0-0ubuntu4` and duplicity `0.6.23-1ubuntu4.2` OS.: Ubuntu Trusty Thar Please Note: I installed the version `0.6.23-1ubuntu4.2` of duplicity from proposed, to avoid being hit by bug #1356548. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377873 Title: deja-dup fails to restore missing files, that contain "german umlaut" (ä,ö,ü,Ä,Ö,Ü).
