Bug#926297: duplicity: azure dependency broken?

[Dean Hamstead]

Package: duplicity
Version: 0.7.18.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I installed python-azure which brings python-azure-storge with it.

This doesnt seem sufficient though, running this sample command fails as
follows

$ duplicity full /source/dir azure://containername
BackendException: Azure backend requires Microsoft Azure Storage SDK for Python (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/azure-storage/).

Similarly, if i do a 'pip install azure' i get the same error.

FYI

$ dpkg -l | grep azure
ii python-azure 2.0.0~rc6+dfsg-2 all Microsoft Azure SDK for Python 2.x
ii python-azure-storage 0.33.0-1 all Microsoft Azure Storage Library for Python 2.x
ii python-msrestazure 0.4.7-1 all Runtime library for AutoRest generated Python 2.x clients

that's an api incompatibility problem known to upstream
(see the launchpad tracker link above). a comment on that bug report
indicates that forcing the installation of
an older azure api version with

pip install azure-storage==0.20.0

should provide a workaround for now (you may also have to ditch the
python-azure-storage debian package).

It seems that this works as you suggest:

pip install azure-storage==0.20.0

At least its a problem understood upstream. It has some chance of being
resolved
